I have a Kendo Grid with pop-up editing. 

How do I specify that only some of the columns are editable?  Or that some are read-only?

I have tried this in the viewmodel, but it doesn't seem to affect the Edit Popup:

The Display annotation does work however.

Hi Greg,

Which columns are editable can be specified in the Grid's DataSource configuration using the editable option in the schema model. For example:

Hi Alexander

i am trying to do the same thing with .net core version and is not working....

Do i have to use template?

 

this is my Index.cshtml

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<PriceProject.Models.PricesModels.Category>()
        .Name("Categories")
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(c => c.ID);
            columns.Bound(c => c.CategoryName);
            columns.Command(command => { command.Edit(); command.Destroy(); }).Width(200);
        })
        .ToolBar(toolbar =>
        {
            toolbar.Create().Text("New Category");
            toolbar.Save();
        })
        .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp))
        .Pageable()
        .Navigatable()
        .Sortable()
        //.Scrollable()
        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
            .Ajax()
            .Batch(true)
            .ServerOperation(true)
            .Model(model =>
            {
                model.Id(p => p.ID);
                model.Field(p => p.ID).Editable(false);
                model.Field(p => p.CategoryName).Editable(true);
                model.Field(p => p.UserID).DefaultValue(1).Editable(false);

            })
            .Read(read => read.Action("GetCategories", "Categories"))
            .Create(create => create.Action("Create", "Categories"))
            .Update(update => update.Action("Edit", "Categories"))
            .Destroy(update => update.Action("Delete", "Categories"))
            .PageSize(10)
        ).Deferred()
)

Hello John,

I was not able to reproduce the same issue on my end. Still, I will make an additional investigation to ensure that the Core version is not causing unexpected issues.

I can suggest checking the following example how to make a column editable based on a condition. If the column has to be non-editable all of the time, the function can return false in all scenarios:

I hope this will help to achieve the desired result.
