Inline Editing

Although the FlexGrid control provides efficient, Excel-style editing by default, you may want to customize the editing behavior. If for some reason you don't like the Excel-style editing and prefer to add editing buttons to every row (typical of editable HTML tables), you can accomplish that using the formatItem event and a little code.
