How to prevent the Edit Dialog Box from showing when cell editing is enabled.

[Adam Moroff]

Hello

I would like to enable Cell Editing but I do not want the user to open the Edit Dialog Box when a task is double clicked on the chart side.   I want to prevent the edit dialog box from appearing.   I can prevent the dialog box from appearing by setting its Cancel property to true, however when the user tries to edit another cell an error message is thrown.  

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'isDestroyed' of undefined at Edit.resetEditProperties (edit.js?9593:731) at Edit.endEditAction (edit.js?9593:743) at Edit.saveSuccess (edit.js?9593:717) at Edit.initiateSaveAction (edit.js?9593:677) at Edit.updateEditedTask (edit.js?9593:429) at Edit.initiateUpdateAction (edit.js?9593:375) at CellEdit.updateEditedRecord (cell-edit.js?f13c:354) at CellEdit.startDateEdited (cell-edit.js?f13c:207) at CellEdit.initiateCellEdit (cell-edit.js?f13c:123) at GanttTreeGrid.treeActionComplete (tree-grid.js?c52b:217)

My code is below:

if (args.requestType === 'beforeOpenEditDialog') {

console.log('closing dialog')

args.cancel = true

}

},

console.log('actionComplete fired')

console.log(args)

},

toolbarClick(args) {

console.log('toolbar clicked')

console.log(args)

},

rowSelecting(args) {

console.log('Row selecting clicked')

console.log(args)

}

When the user double clicks on a task the dialog box is cancelled in the actionBegin method. The issue is when the user tries to edit another cell after the dialog box is cancelled the following error message is displayed.
