Disable for editing only One cell.

I am interested in purchasing DataTables Editor for very specific task.
But before I must know, is it really possible to disable only one cell in Table (tab between columns, not inline editing) dynamically?

for instance: https://editor.datatables.net/examples/inline-editing/tabControl.html when we try to edit some cell - show a message to the client.

    Sure - the editing is triggered by inline() which you call. For example in the example you linked to it uses:

        $('#example').on( 'click', 'tbody td:not(:first-child)', function (e) {
            editor.inline( this, {
                submitOnBlur: true
            } );
        } );
    

    Note that the selector excludes the first column. Also noted that in the tab handling code it will skip over the first column.

    If you haven't tried Editor yet, I would encourage you to download the trial and make sure it does what you want :-). It sounds like it should be quite possible.
