hide/remove everything but the cells

[Michael]

Hello - I expect what I want to do is not supported. I that it he case, then I'll abandon this cool idea I have and not use the kendo spreadsheet.

I need a view-only mode that just shows the cells where they cannot be edited/modified. I need an admin-only mode where the entire spreadsheet control is functional.

For the view-only mode I tried the following, which does hide most of the stuff I don't want. But it requires more work to adjust heights and handle click events, at least. As it is when I do this various script errors are occurring when I click within the spreadsheet div:

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('.k-spreadsheet-sheets-bar').hide();
        $('.k-tabstrip-wrapper').hide();
        $('.k-spreadsheet-action-bar').hide();
        $('.k-spreadsheet-scroller').hide();
        $('.k-spreadsheet-column-header').hide();
        $('.k-spreadsheet-row-header').hide();
    });

Hi Michael,

The spreadsheet is designed for data editing, and a read only version would rather be a grid or a simple <table> that you can generate with a loop over the data.

That said, you can try hooking to its render event and calling enable(false) on all cells as done in the following KB article (it was written for the WebForms wrapper but it is still a Kendo Spreadsheet in the browsre): https://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/spreadsheet/details/load-excel-file-into-a-read-only-spreadsheet.

Here's an example I made for you based on the article above and the basic demo: https://dojo.telerik.com/@bratanov/UCukaxoz/2.
