You mean that you would prefer to edit the memo inline like normal
text? What about carriage returns and scrollbars etc? (BTW it is
possible to edit a memo inline by dropping TIB_MemoEnh onto the grid -
from my EnhComponents.)

I just tried to simulate this here, and I am getting what I expect.
That is; When I land on a memo cell the memo editor automatically
displays. When I OK out of the memo editor it automatically jumps to
the next cell (and if that is a memo then the memo editor shows
again).

The code is...

if Assigned( FOnEditButtonClick ) then
FOnEditButtonClick( Self )
else
if ( FEditLinksAuto and SelectedField.IsText ) then
ShowMemoEditor;


So if you define an OnEditButton click event then the memo editor will
not be automatically displayed. However the ShowMemoEditor function
is public to IB_Grid, so you can easily call that function for
particular fields. (This seemed like the most flexible option at the
time.)

1. NavigateOptions := [gnOnEditDoEditClick]
2. EditLinksAuto := true
3. EditLinks := blank
4. AlwaysShowEditor := true
