Disable Checkbox column based on bound data

[Mike]

I have the following grid set.  Is there a way I can override the template or something else that will disable the checkbox based on a boolean from the data object?

    <kendo-grid selectable="multiple" height="600" auto-bind="false">
        <columns>
            <column selectable="true" width="30" locked="true" />
...
        </columns>
</kendo-grid>

Hi Mike,

You cannot disable the checkboxes in the Grid directly by using the column template. Once the data in the Grid is bound, you can go through it and enable/disable the checkboxes based on the scenario in the application you are working on. Attached to my reply you will find a runnable project demonstrating how we can disable all checkboxes that are on rows with OrderID value bigger than 5. Here is the code that is executed on the dataBound event of the Grid:

    function onDataBound() {
        var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
        var allRows = grid.items();
        $.each(allRows, function (index, value) {
            if (grid.dataItem(value).OrderID > 5) {
                 $(value).find(".k-checkbox").attr('disabled', true);
            }
        })
    }

I hope the above snippet demonstrates how you can achieve the desired functionality. Let me know if you need further assistance with the current case.
