Is there a way to make default popup editor readonly

[Randy Hompesch]

I want to display 4 or 5 columns and 3 or 4 columns that are hidden in the grid. I want to create a custom command to show the all the columns in a readonly fashion. 

 

Basically, use the default dialog for popups and make it readonly. Can it be done?

Thanks … Ed

Hello Ed,

Generally you can make a field non-editable by setting its .Editable(false) setting in the grid model. You can find an example of the syntax in the following demo - see the ProductID field: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/grid/odatav4. If you use the popup editing mode, you won't be able to edit such fields and you'll get their details as read-only. Here's a basic example of how that would look like base off our demos (the ProductName is the column in question): https://dojo.telerik.com/@bratanov/eHEQabip.

If you want to display details only without editing, I think that starting off from this demo will be easier, as it already does the same thing: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/grid/custom-command.

Is there a read only popup for Blazor to show the details.  Something like https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/grid/custom-command

Hello Muhammad,

In Blazor, the Editable parameter of the column removes it from the built-in popup editor altogether.

If you want to show certain details, you should implement a custom command that shows the desired details in, for example, a TelerikWindow. That's very similar to implementing a custom edit popup (just remove the editors, of course, and put the desired content in the dialog - say, a component that will receive a record ID as a parameter and fetch the necessary data on demand through its OnParametersSetAsync lifecycle method).

Another very similar approach is to use a tooltip to show the row details and load them on demand (it shows the approach I outlined above for using a component and its OnParametersSetAsync method).

You may also find interesting this feature request for a property grid that will display all fields of an object. If so, Vote for it to raise its priority, and Follow it for email status updates.
