Disable Detail Table

[Lynda Golomb]

Hi,
I have a grid with 3 detail tables on the same level. I need to disable the entire grid in such a way that the user will be able to open the lower tables to view the data but not change it (this needs to be done through code).
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Lynda

Hello Lynda,

Since it is not an easy task to disable the whole RadGrid in such way, you can disable only the Edit / Add New Item buttons if this approach is suitable for your scenario..

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name != "something")
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            (e.Item as GridDataItem)["AutoGeneratedEditColumn"].Enabled = false;
        if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
            (e.Item.FindControl("InitInsertButton").Parent as TableCell).Enabled = false;
    }
}

Enabled/Disabled conventions

I hope this helps.

That works very well for me, thankyou.
Can I ask also how to remove the 'Refersh' button?

Hello Lynda,

Whether you will disable or remove (hide) the control depends only on the property you use - Enabled or Visible:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name != "something")
    {
        if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
            (e.Item.FindControl("RefreshButton").Parent as TableCell).Enabled = false;
    }
}
