How do you display Boolean column as a readonly checkbox

[Phil]

I've been googling for an hour. Can't find the answer to this seemingly straightforward question.

How do you display a model's boolean column as a readonly checkbox instaed of the default text (true or false)?

My model contains a boolean property called IsInternal.
Here's my code snippet.

.Columns(columns =>

   {             

     columns.Bound(o => o.IsInternal)
            .ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' name='IsInternal' value='<#= IsInternal #>' readonly /> ");

This does not work. It results in a column of unchecked editable checkboxes that are not bound to my model.

Can someone please help.
Regards

Okay, I've answered my own question. I had got a few bum-steers from other forum entries - like the readonly bit.

The correct syntax is:

columns.Bound(o => o.IsInternal)
    .ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' name='IsInternalCb' <#= IsInternal? 'checked' : '' #> disabled /> ");

Basically I've:

1. Given it a name attribute incase i need to reference it later. (Probably won't need to)
2. Conditionally added the 'checked' attribute if my boolean column IsInternal = true, else added empty string
3. Added 'disabled' attribute to make it read only

Hope this saves other people some time.

Thank you, just what I needed.

A little tweak for MVC users:

columns.Bound(o => o.IsInternal)
    .ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' name='IsInternalCb' #= IsInternal? 'checked' : '' # disabled /> "); 

Leave out the brackets in <#= IsInternal? 'checked' : '' #> for it to work.
