I want to disable 2nd column when 1 st row is inserted in a kendo grid, not after that

[Anand Vardhan]

I have a kendo ui grid with toolbar create.
In that, I want to disable 2nd column(here "operand" column) when 1st row is inserted.
From 2nd row onwards, I want that column to be enabled.

Can someone please help me achieve this?
I am struggling to have this much of control in kendo grid.
Here is the code below:

var rateScheduleItemGridDatasource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
            type: 'get',
            url: config.apiServer + "api/RateSchedule/GetAllRateScheduleItems?rateScheduleId=" + selectedRateScheduleId,
            dataType: "json"
        },
        destroy: {
            type: 'delete',
            url: function (options) {
                alert('hi');
                $.ajax({
                    url: config.apiServer + "api/RateSchedule/DeleteRateScheduleItem?rateScheduleItemId=" + options.RateScheduleItemId,
                    type: 'delete',
                    data: ko.toJSON(options),
                    contentType: "application/json",
                    success: function (data) {
                        popupNotification.show(updateSuccessMessage, "success");
                        rateScheduleItemGridDatasource.read();
                    },
                    error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                        popupNotification.show(updateFailureMessage, "error");
                    }
                });
            },

Hello Anand,

The desired functionality is not supported out-of-the-box, but can be achieved via some custom coding. A possible approach is to handle the "Add new item" button click event, and increment a variable, used to conditionally apply custom logic in the edit event handler.

I have prepared an example demonstrating a sample implementation:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#events-edit

I hope this helps, but please note that it is for illustrative purposes only, and is neither tested, nor supported, so any further modifications and/or improvements are in the hands of the developer.
