That sucks.  Here's why.  Let's say we have a grid and I want to subscribe to the cell starting event.  In the UI object it'll give me the columnKey and an editor object.

The "best practice" way is to switch on the columnKey so I know which column I am using but now I have to switch provide another switch for the type of editor because their is no common base class.

Question:  How can I determine the type of editor that is being passed from the ui.editor field without iterating through them all?

 As a work around I just created a helper method that'll return the type of editor.  The only downside is there isn't a type of indicator on the data object because hooking up events differs between combo and everything else.  Luckily there are common methods between them so that helps.  Here's a sample piece:

$.ced.ig.getEditor = function (editor) {
	var editors = ["igTextEditor", "igNumericEditor", "igCombo", "igDateEditor", "igDatePicker", "igMaskEditor", "igPercentEditor", "igCurrencyEditor"];

	for (var index = 0; index < editors.length; index++) {
		var result = $(editor).data(editors[index]);

		if (result) {
			result.__type = editors[index];
			return result;
		}
	}

	return null;
};
