Cell Read only property in DataGrid View

[bhogavalli]

Hi Telerik Team,

        Is there any option to assign read only property to a particular cell in the Data grid view.
     I need to make some cells read only in a column to support some functionality. Please provide solution for he Query ASAP.

Hello,

There is no such property but you can use the CellInfo.Tag for this, which you can assign in DataBindingComplete event, like so:

void radGridView1_DataBindingComplete(object sender, GridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var row in radGridView1.Rows)
    {
        if (row.Index % 2 == 0)
        {
            row.Cells[0].Tag = true;
        }
    }
}

void radGridView1_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Tag != null && e.Row.Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Tag.Equals(true))
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,
