How to Disable RadGrid

[taraka chaitanya]

Hi,
How do a RadGrid be in View mode or non editable mode?

Scenario:
Based on the user role, RadGrid should be in Disable mode(no Add/Update/Remove functionalities ) or Enable mode. This should happen dynamically.

Thanks,
Chaitanya

Hello Chaitanya,

In order to disable radgrid, you have to set the Enabled property of the control to false and switch off the auto postback on row click, column resizing, client row selection and keyboard navigation. Here is the documentation which shows how to enable/disable RadGrid.

Enabled/Disabled conventions

Thanks,

Princy.

I know that this is an old forum thread but I need to write it in here in order that someone like me does not loose time trying to disable grid :)

If U wish to completely disable grid, beside properties mentioned in http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-enabled-conventions.html,  U will have to add this line also

ClientSettings.AllowColumnsReorder = false;

If people from Telerik agree with this, please update documentation on link mentioned above.

Cheers

Hi Miladin,
The mentioned snippet is already included in the DisableGrid javascript function:

We will add the server side property too, in any case. Thank you for the feedback.

All the best,
Eyup
