Disabling an Edit function in a Grid when inline editing is executed

[CHARLES]

I have 2 grids displayed on one page, our top Grid allows editing with a custom edit command.  Our lower grid allows for inline editing.  I want the ability to disable the top grid's custom Edit function (Edit button) when I click in the lower grid for inline editing using jQuery.  Below is what I have attempted

            $(function () {
                $(document).ready(function () {
                    var inlineEdit = $("#kendoGrid").data().kendoGrid.select().is(".k-grid-edit-row");
                        if (inlineEdit > 0) {
                            var edit = $("#kendoGrid").data("kendoGrid").find("k-grid-edit");
                            edit.hide();
                            e.preventDefault();
                            return false;
                       }
   });
                });

Hello CHARLES,

I am afraid enabling / disabling the edit functionality of Kendo UI Grid at runtime is not supported at present. As a workaround I can suggest to attach a click handler on the edit buttons in the second grid and cover the first grid table with a transparent <div> element which will prevent it from editing. A similar scenario is explained at this forum thread.
