Keeping the .AllowEditing(false) different for the Add form and Edit form

[Sandip]

Hello,

I am using the ASP.net MVC grid.

I am using InlineForm to modify the data. I don't want certain fields to be editable so in a column, i have set AllowEditing(False) as shown below. however i do this Fields to be editable in the Add form but its disabled.  does anyone knows how to achieve this?

   col.Field(x => x.Handing)

                                              .HeaderText("Handing")

                                              .TextAlign(TextAlign.Left).AllowEditing(false)

                                              .Width(45)

                                              .Add();

Hi Sandip, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.  

 

From your query, we understand that you need prevent the column from being edited and at same time you need to add values to that column while adding. We have achieved your requirement using ActionComplete event of ejGrid.  

 

Refer the below code example 

 

(Html.EJ().Grid<object>("Grid") 

                    .Datasource(ds => ds.URL("UrlDataSource").UpdateURL("UrlUpdate").InsertURL("UrlInsert").RemoveURL("UrlDelete") 

                    .Adaptor(AdaptorType.UrlAdaptor)) 

                    .AllowPaging() 

                    .AllowFiltering() 

                    .AllowGrouping() 

                    .AllowSorting() 

                    .AllowSearching() 

                    .ClientSideEvents(e=>e.ActionComplete("Complete")) 

                    .EditSettings(edit => { edit.AllowAdding().AllowDeleting().AllowEditing(); }) 

                    .                    .                 .                .                  .              .          .  

) 

<script type="text/javascript"> 

     

    function Complete(args) {   

        if (args.requestType == "beginedit") {  // disable when request type is beginedit  

            //Grid ID + ColumnName 

            $("#GridCustomerID").addClass("e-disable");    

            $("#GridCustomerID").attr("disabled",true);  // disable the element from editing 

        } 

    } 

    </script>
