Answer 1

You can use cell or rowedit functions in grid. The following examples show how you can do.
Cell Edit Sample
// Cell Edit example
Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
title: 'Simpsons',
store: Ext.data.StoreManager.lookup('simpsonsStore'),
/**
* here is the important part
* you should define each or single column 'editor' property
* then specify the 'plugins' that you want to use, here is 'CellEditing'
* as you might guess, all definitions appear in the grid definition
*/
columns: [
{header: 'Name', dataIndex: 'name', editor: 'textfield'},
{header: 'Email', dataIndex: 'email', flex:1,
editor: {
xtype: 'textfield',
allowBlank: false
}
},
{header: 'Phone', dataIndex: 'phone'}
],
selType: 'cellmodel',
plugins: [
Ext.create('Ext.grid.plugin.CellEditing', {
clicksToEdit: 1
})
],
height: 200,
width: 400,
renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});
Row Edit Sample
// Row Edit Sample
// the difference with cell edit, just showing an editor screen to change something
Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
storeId:'simpsonsStore',
fields:['name', 'email', 'phone'],
data: [
{"name":"Lisa", "email":"lisa#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-111-1224"},
{"name":"Bart", "email":"bart#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-222-1234"},
{"name":"Homer", "email":"home#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-222-1244"},
{"name":"Marge", "email":"marge#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-222-1254"}
]
});
Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
title: 'Simpsons',
store: Ext.data.StoreManager.lookup('simpsonsStore'),
/**
* Same aspect
* you should define 'editor' property
* if you don't define editor property for a colum,
* you can't change anyhthing for that column
*/
columns: [
{header: 'Name', dataIndex: 'name', editor: 'textfield'},
{header: 'Email', dataIndex: 'email', flex:1,
editor: {
xtype: 'textfield',
allowBlank: false
}
},
{header: 'Phone', dataIndex: 'phone'}
],
selType: 'rowmodel',
// here is the plugin definition
plugins: [
Ext.create('Ext.grid.plugin.RowEditing', {
clicksToEdit: 1
})
],
height: 200,
width: 400,
renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});
