The name of the editor field that is created is defined by the  
constant kFieldEditorName in the script of btn "Data Grid" of stack  
"revDataGridLibrary".  The name is "DataGridFieldEditor". You could  
try targeting field "DataGridFieldEditor" of group DATA_GRID and see  
if that works.

The other option would be to close field editing while your dialog is  
open (dispatch "DeleteFieldEditor" to group DATA_GRID), set the value  
of the cell after the modal dialog changes and then open the cell for  
editing using EditCellOfIndex.

Examples of using EditCellOfIndex can be found here:

If that is all of the code for your field editor behavior then you are  
missing the necessary message handling routines for tabKey and other  
events. Try assigning the script of button "Field Editor" of stack  
"revDataGridLibrary" to your button "b_InputControl" and then add your  
rawKeyDown code to the script.
