Hi,

I’m trying to load data into a DataGrid like this:

```auto

var nc:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn(n);
                nc.editable = false;
            dataGrid.addColumn(nc);
addNewColumn("translation", false);
            _dp = new DataProvider();
            _dp.addItem("just something stupid");
            dataGrid.dataProvider = _dp;

```

I set column.editable to false which means that it looses focus.  
The problem is that if I click this column, there is no event in the DataGridEvent class that could dispatch this event. And obviously DataGridEvent.ITEM\_FOCUS\_IN does not work since the column is unable to have focus.

So how can I check if a cell that is NOT editable has been clicked?

Thanks for you help!
