Preventing edit on grid cell

Hi,

I would like to set certain cells in the grid to be read-only.

I have tried using the GridStyleInfo.ReadOnly property, but while this prevents editing, it still allows the cursor to enter the cell upon double-click. Thus, I am instead canceling the CurrentCellStartEdit event on certain cells to prevent this.

However, I would like to know if there is any alternative property I can use to make a cell read-only (and cursor does not enter cell upon double-click)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Omar,

Try setting the CellType property of the gridcell to "Static" and let me know if this helps.

e.Style.CellType = "Static";

Hi,

While setting the CellType to Static did work, I can't really do this because I have a formula in my cell and the celltype is already set to FormulaCell.

I assume the only way around this problem then is to create a custom celltype?

Thanks.

Hi Omar,

You can try setting the style.Enabled property to false in a Grid FormulaCell or you can handle the CurrentCellStartEditing event and set e.Cancel = true.
