Column read only in edit mode, editable in insert mode

[Nick]

I want to make a column readonly when editing, but if I am inserting a new entry I don't want the column to be readonly. How can I do this when my columns are generated using an sql datatable?

Hi Nick,

Try the following code snippet to make a column ReadOnly in edit mode and editable in insert mode.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode && !(e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem))
    {
        GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
        TextBox txt = (TextBox)editedItem["UniqueName"].Controls[0];
        txt.ReadOnly = true;
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
