When gnF2ToggleEditor is set True.
When any editing key is pressed (e.g. alpha keys in an alpha field) in the
grid, the key presses are appended automatically onto the end of the field
value.
(nothing in the help file warned me about this)
Anyway - I need a way for key presses to not edit at all... and F2 to turn
the dataset into dssedit.
setting datasource to autoedit.False does not give F2 this ability - it's
never editable..
hmmm, there must be a way...
