How to avoid Checkbox and DateTime Picker in GridGroupingControl when the Data is Readonly

[Vijaya Kumar Reddy]

Hi

We recently upgraded from 3.2.0 to 4.2 version of Sysnfusion GridGroupingControl. In the datasouce we have columns of type boolean and DateTime and my data is readonly. When we display the data in the new version(4.2), the GridGoupingControl is displaying a checkbox for boolean type column and DateTimePicker for DateTime type column. The earlier version of grid is not displyaing the checkbox and datatimepicker.

Please let us know how to avoid the Checkbox and Datetime picker controls in the GridGroupingControl and to display my data in raedonly mode in the new version of control.

Thaks for the help
Regards
Vijay

Hi Vijaya,

This is by Design. Use the below code snippet to change the celltype of the Boolean/DataTime type column in a grid.

//For Main Table
//TextBox for normal...//Static for readonly..
this.grid.TableDescriptor.Columns["BooleanColName"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "TextBox"; //="Static"
this.grid.TableDescriptor.Columns["dateColName"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "TextBox"; //="Static"

//For any table....
GridTableDescriptor gd = this.grid.GetTableDescriptor("MyTable"); //Code
gd.Columns["BooleanColName"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "TextBox";//="Static"
gd.Columns["dateColName"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "TextBox"; //="Static"

Thanks,
