hi Nitin,

Jus use the cellformatting event of that grid, identify the column and then set the enabled property of the cell to false.

like

private

 

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)

 

{

 

 

    if (e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.HeaderText == "Type")

 

        {

 

            e.CellElement.Enabled =

false;

 

        }

 }

Hope this helps

Cheers
Kris

Hi Nitin Vikraman,

You should handle the CellBeginEdit event and cancel it to prevent a cell from being edited. Or, you can make the cell look disabled by setting its Enabled property to false when handling the CellFormatting event. We plan to add a property which indicates whether a cell is read only in one of our upcoming releases.

CellElement still has no ReadOnly property? I don't understand why this isn't supported. It makes perfect sense to:

1) Allow editing "new row" column X value.
2) Disallow editing existing row's column X value.

A ReadOnly property of the cell would make life easier.

Hello,

This can easily be achieved with the CellBeginEdit event as well. For the time being we do not have a ReadOnly property of the CellElement. If there is demand for such, we will consider adding it in a future release:

void radGridView1_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (!(e.Row is GridViewNewRowInfo) || !(e.Column.Name == "ColumnX"))
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

I hope this helps.
