You could try this:
on the OnGetText event of the grid:
procedure TFormXXX.GridXXXGetEditText(Sender: TObject; ACol,
ARow: Integer; var Value: String);
begin
if (ACol = your_column) then
GridXXX.EditorMode := false;
end;

I've tested it and it seems to work - to prevent the edit caret appear
when you double click the column (or hit enter).

ps: I've just discovered this by trial and error since I don't know
what EditorMode does (no help for it)
