Don't allow record editing but allow new rows

[Gompje]

Hi,

In a SL4 application that I am building I need a grid which allows the user to add new rows but he may not update existing rows.

So far I see this scenario is not possible?
If I specify "isreadonly" the user cannot update (which is good) but he also cannot insert a new row (=bad). Even doh I've specified that this is allowed and the button is also visible, but is not working. The not working is caused by the "readonly"
Leaving the readonly off and not saving any updated data is an option but a confusing one for the user.

Before I create a custom routine to add new records, I wanted to know if I can achieve this scenario out-of-the-box ?

tx!

I've just create a popupform so..

thanks anyway

Hello Gompje,

You can use the BeginningEdit event to workaround the limitation:

// subscribe for BeginningEdit event
void gridView_BeginningEdit(object sender, GridViewBeginningEditRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.gridView.Items.CurrentAddItem != e.Row.Item)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        return;
    }
}

Tx for the suggestion, but I think the custom popup solution is more userfriendly. So I stick with that for now ...
