Conditional column control type

[Steven]

I am using Kendo UI for the web and was wondering if there is a way to have a column either be a checkbox or a textbox depending upon the value of another  column in the grid. For example if column 1 = 'C' display a checkbox in column 2, if column 1 = 'T' display a textbox in column 2. This field will be the only field that is editable in the grid. .

 I assume I would need a template for this, but could not get anything to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Steven,

There is no problem to use a column template with an IF statement (or any other Javascript code) inside it.

In case you want to change the column editor depending on a value in the data item, then you need a custom editor.

Let me know if you need additional clarifications.
