Difference between readonly and browseonly
By default, the ReadOnly and BrowseOnly properties are used to disable the edit mode in the grid. But these two properties have the following differences.
Differences
- In the ReadOnly property, the whole grid or range of cells can be restricted from being edited, but in the BrowseOnly property the whole grid is restricted from being edited.
ReadOnly
C#
//Sets read only to whole grid this.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.ReadOnly = true; //Sets read only to the record field cells this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.RecordFieldCell.ReadOnly = true;
VB
'Sets read only to whole grid Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.ReadOnly = True 'Sets read only to the record field cells Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.RecordFieldCell.ReadOnly = True
BrowseOnly
C#
//Sets browseonly to avoid from being edited this.gridGroupingControl1.BrowseOnly = true;
VB
'Sets browseonly to avoid from being edited Me.gridGroupingControl1.BrowseOnly = True
- In the ReadOnly property, when the cell is clicked, the cursor is displayed in the cell, but in the BrowseOnly property there is no cursor inside the cell.
- In the ReadOnly property, the filtering dropdown is enabled, and filtering operation is performed to the grid, but in the BrowseOnly property, there is no filtering operation.
