Dojo programatically set Grid cell to edit mode

Question

I need to programatically force a dojo.grid cell into edit mode. I've been scouring the docs and boards but I'm missing how to do this.

Look at this question and examples http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9823231/how-to-focus-inthe-first-cell-of-a-newly-added-row-in-a-dojox-grid-datagrid/ — keemor, Apr 25 '12 at 14:19

I'm not sure if you will be able to edit only a single cell, but maybe this question can get you started: Dojo Grid - Switching between editable and not editable

Basically, changing a column to allow edits boils down to something like:

var columnToEdit=0;
var str = grid.structure;
str[0].cells[0][columnToEdit].editable=true;
grid.set("structure",str);

The question linked has a bit more information and tips about how to alter the state of the grid container so that you can create a working UI.

I don't think that'll work for me. I want to do something like: myCell.PutIntoEditMode() – Ali Apr 26 '12 at 13:56
