get radGrid column - readOnly property

[Ethan]

can someone plz tell me how can i get the readOnly property of a column in the client Side?

Hello,


I am not sure whether a client-side method is available for setting ReadOnly for column. But I believe, you can invoke an ajaxRequest() to server and there you can set the ReadOnly property by accessing column.

Hello Ethan,

You could use the get_readOnly() property for that purpose. The following code-snippet demonstrates how to use it:

var masterTable = $find('<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>').get_masterTableView();
var isReadOnly = masterTable.get_columns()[1].get_readOnly();

it always return false... even if the readOnly property of a column set to true.

Hello Ethan,

This property is serialized in three cases:
- when filtering is enabled
- when the header context menu is enabled
- when the client-side OnCommand handler is attached

Kind regards,
