If you are using a datagrid with either that ComboBoxCellRenderer or the CheckCellRender, to keep the underlying datagrid cell editor from displaying when you click on the combobox or checkbox you have to set the column those cellrenderers are in to editable = false.
Well this prevents the user from tabbing into that cell and using their key strokes to activate that combobox or checkbox.
Has anyone figured out a way to overcome this issue? For example, I would like the user to be able to tab into the cell with the ComboBox and then user their UP or DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the dropdown list and then choose a value. For the checkbox, allow the user to tab into that cell and hit their SPACE bar to select or deselect that checkbox. This behaviour is similar to HTML forms and we all know Flash is cooler than HTML.
