[Solved] Edit mode for only some columns

[pradeep k]

Hi All,

I have a RadGrid with 10 columns, when i click edit i need to show only some columns in edit mode, howto do this.

Hello Pradeep,

You can set the ReadOnly property for the columns which are not editable.

    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ContactName" ReadOnly="true" HeaderText="ContactName"
        UniqueName="ContactName">
    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Hi Pradeep K,

Try the following approach by setting the ReadOnly property explicitly when in EditMode, in order to to show all the columns while inserting record.

CS:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.Columns)
        {
            if (col.ColumnType == "GridBoundColumn" && col.UniqueName == "ContactName")
            {
                if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
                {
                    (col as GridBoundColumn).ReadOnly = true;
                    col.Visible = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    (col as GridBoundColumn).ReadOnly = false;
                    col.Visible = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }

Thanks,
Princy.
