How to prevent a cell from entering edit mode?

[Henri]

Hi,

I defined a GridViewDataColumn with a CellTemplate (with TextBlock) and a CellEditTemplate (with TextBox).
Depending on the data, Edit is allowed or not.
How can I prevent a cell from switching to edit mode, when edit is not allowed?
Setting the TextBox to ReadOnly, does not prevent the switch to edit mode.

Best regards,

Hi,

 You can use IsReadOnly column property to achieve your goal. Other possible approach will be to load different templates for the edit mode using CellEditTemplateSelector similar to this demo. 

All the best,
