How to set different default setting to texbox in grid when adding and editing

[Yukiko Imazu]

Hello,

I'm working on grid with add and edit button.

EditType for one of the column in grid is "string" which is textbox.

My requirement is when adding the new row, this column needs to be  AllowEditing="true"

when edit the row, this column should be AllowEditing="false"

Is it possible to do that?

Best Regards,

Yukiko

Hi Yukiko,  

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.  

 

To disable the Editing for column, set the AllowEditing as “false”. At the same time, this property disables the respective field while the adding the records also. In order to handle this case, we suggest to toggling this functionality in the ActionBegin event of the Grid as shown in the following code example. 

 

    <ej:Grid ID="Grid1" AllowPaging="True" runat="server"> 

                    <Columns> 

                        <ej:Column Field="EmployeeID" HeaderText="Employee ID" AllowEditing="false" TextAlign="Right" Width="110" /> 

                                    . .  

                                     . . .  

                    </Columns> 

                    <ClientSideEvents ActionBegin="onbegin"/> 

                            . . . 

                    <EditSettings AllowEditing="True" AllowAdding="True" AllowDeleting="True"></EditSettings> 

                </ej:Grid> 

<script> 

    function onbegin(args) { 

         if(args.requestType == "add"){ 

             this.model.columns[2].allowEditing = true; // Enable the editing for EmployeeID column while adding the record. 

        } 

        if (args.requestType == "save") { 

             this.model.columns[2].allowEditing = false; // Disable the editing for EmployeeID column while editing the record. 

 

        } 

    } 

</script>
