Yes, agree; my comment was affirming your change as better because of finer
granularity of control.

I also used a showmessage(..) in the event handler. My grid has several
other event handlers on the grid so I will do more here.

Removing every event handler from the grid (including a dataset
OnDataChange) causes looping somewhere, as evidenced by the cell date text
flickering when
1. AlwaysShowEditor=true
2. MyField=EDIT is in Editlinks

The looping happens only for MyField not for MyOtherDateField which has no
entry in EditLinks.

If you do not see looping with these conditions I'll make an example.
