Batch Editing - Readonly Row

[venky]

I am using the grid in Batch editing mode with AJAX binding. How can I make a particular row in the grid readonly depending on a value in one of the columns on that row. Thank you in advance.

Hello Venky,

Unfortunately, this is currently not supported.

Is this supported in any other mode like InForm/InLine grid editing? Thanks.

Hello Venky,

I'm afraid not, however you may consider hiding the command buttons for rows which should not be editable. This can be achieved by hooking to the rowDataBound client event:

function rowDataBound(e) {
   if (e.dataItem.MyField == "SomeValue") {
      $(e.row).find(".t-grid-edit, .t-grid-delete").hide();
   }
}

Thanks Rosen. How do I make the entire grid uneditable for some users and editable for some?

Hello Venky,

You may set Editable's Enable options to either true or false. 

.Editable(editing => editing.Enabled(Model.UserCanEdit))

Hello Rosen,
That was the first thing I tried but it did not work for me.

.Editable(e => e.Enabled(false)
                       .Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))

columns.Command(c => c.Edit());

.DataBinding(d => d.Ajax()
                            .Select()
                            .Update("Update", "XXX")
                    )


Still shows the edit button and calls the controller Update button when pressed "Update".
Am I missing anything here?
Thanks, Venky

Hello Venky,

 In order to hide command column you may use its Visible property.
