If Autoedit is False and goAlwaysShowEditor is not in Options, then
clicking on a cell will not enable editing. If AutoEdit is True, then
clicking on the cell will enable editing (goEditing must be in options
of course).
(Look at the code in TCustomGrid.MouseDown)

As to goEditing: it seems to act as ReadOnly does in other controls.
If so (I might be wrong) then why not replace it with ReadOnly property?
