I would like to perform some extra checks/validation on pre-events using the PHP libraries, i can see here: https://editor.datatables.net/manual/php/events#Cancellable-events
It states that there is no error returned to the user if it returns false as of version 1.6, as we are now on a later version, I was wondering if this was possible yet?

No - there isn't a trivial way to do that yet. However, there is a different mechanism for this which will work, using global validation. Rather than using
preCreate
/preEdit
you would add a validator that does whatever validation you need and have it return a string with the error message if you want to cancel the action.Would that suit your needs okay?
