Starting with version v2016 vol 1 (v16.1), this functionality is available out of the box. Set the grid's GridViewSettings.SettingsEditing.BatchEditSettings.StartEditAction property to the FocusedCellClick value to activate it. Please refer to the ASP.NET Grid - Cell Bands, Cell Merging, and Cell Focus - (Coming soon in v16.1) blog post, the Batch Editing and Updating demo and ASPxGridView - Batch Edit - Provide cell focusing and keyboard navigation thread for more information.
If you have version v16.1+ available, consider using the built-in functionality instead of the approach detailed below.
For earlier versions:
In this example, ASPxGridView is used in Batch Edit mode. This feature allows users to move focus from one editable cell to another. Navigation is performed by the Up/Left/Down/Right buttons.

Thank you very much, I will try your example over the weekend when I have more time to experiment.
For now I disabled the Mouse Wheel with AllMouseWheel = false and set the Increment to 0 and the Large Increment to 0 and it works.
