how to make some columns not editable when adding a new row in treegrid

Question

Hi,

I have a question about treegrid when adding a new row.

When user add a new row, I do not want them fill out all the columns. So user can only fill out some columns but not other columns.

How can I achieve this?

Thank,

Harry

Hi Harry,

We can disable specific columns from providing value during editing or adding a row by disabling the ‘AllowEditing’ property of the column object . And we have included this property in Essential studio release versoin volume 3 ,2015 . So we suggest you to upgrade to this Essential studio version .

You can download that setup from the below location

Please find the below code example for more details,

.EditSettings(eve => {
        eve.AllowEditing(true);
        eve.EditMode(TreeGridEditMode.CellEditing);
    })
.Columns(co => {
        co.Field("StartDate").HeaderText("Start Date").AllowEditing(false).Add();
    })

We have also prepared a sample for disable the specific editable columns. Please find the sample in the following location.
