[Solved] Change ReadOnly property in OnEdit event

[Donna Stewart]

I have a grid with a couple of columns I want to be ReadOnly during Edit mode,but I want them to be editable in Insert mode.  I know I can check the mode during the OnEdit event and I hope I can change the ReadOnly property if the mode is 'insert'.  These columns are using EditorTemplates for dropdown lists.  Is this possible?  If so, how do I change that ReadOnly property?  I am using batch editing and I want those columns to be visible, just not changeable unless they are inserting a new row.  Your help is very much appreciated! 
Thank you!

Here is the grid code:

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Of GMC_Hub_and_Spoke.OnlineReportDetailModel).Name("InputPropertiesGrid").HtmlAttributes(New With {.style = "width:95%;"}) _
    .DataKeys(Function(key) key.Add(Function(k) k.WQIKey)) _
    .ToolBar(Function(commands) commands.SubmitChanges()) _
    .ToolBar(Function(commands) commands.Insert()) _
    .ClientEvents(Function(events) events.OnError("onGridError")) _
    .ClientEvents(Function(events) events.OnEdit("onGridEdit")) _
    .DataBinding(Function(dataBinding) dataBinding.Ajax().Select("GetInputProperties", "WebQuery", New With {.id = Model.selectedWebQuery.QueryKey}).Update("SaveInputProperties", "WebQuery")) _
    .Editable(Function(editing) editing.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.Caption)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.ReportDataType).ReadOnly(True)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.DisplayType).ReadOnly(True)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.InputValue)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.DisplayOrder)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.Visible)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.MinLength)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.MaxLength)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.MinDate)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.MaxDate)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.StoredProcParameter).ReadOnly(True)) _
    .Columns(Function(col) col.Bound(Function(p) p.WQIKey).Hidden(True))
    %>

Hello Donna, 

I'm afraid that this is not possible. Once you set the ReadOnly property, it cannot be changed at runtime.

Is there maybe another way I can do this?  Any suggestions?

EDIT:  Nevermind - I found a  workaround in this forum post.  Not sure why I didn't see that post in all of my forum searches yesterday.  I just happened to stumble upon it today.  I thought I would add this and the link in case anyone else has this need.
Thanks,
Donna
