Hi Hristo, 

I have used the example you have created for more help to select text and set the focus as well. Apparently It is performing both of the functionalities but I am using an event "onRowEdit()" to get the edited values. It used to give me newvalue of the row and oldvalue of the row as well before using "ng-template" but now It just gives me oldvalue and the newvalue is null. I was performing some validations on data while editing the row but I am not able to do that. 

I tried to remove the igxCellEditor from ng-template and then it gives me the values but at that point focus is not set and text is not selected for editing purpose. 

Please advise me If there is a work around to get this done, I shall really appreciate that.

When the user enters in edit mode, It shifts the focus to right side of zero when It should select zero to enter the value and then it should override it but its not happening.
