"IsReadOnly" of GridViewDataColumn doesn't work.

[JIJIKO]

Hi (QwQ),

I met a problem that "IsReadOnly=true" of GridViewDataColumn doesn't work.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="IsChecked" DataMemberBinding="{Binding IsChecked}"
                        Style="{DynamicResource GridViewColumnStyle}" IsReadOnly="True">
    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked}" Style="{DynamicResource CheckBoxStyle}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

I can still edit the checkbox in column.

Hello Jijiko,

The IsReadOnly property would not work when a custom CellTemplate is defined because it is up to the developer to decide how to handle the elements, present in the template.

That said, to achieve the wanted behavior, you could either set the IsEnabled property to False or the IsHitTestVisible property to False, as an additional Setter in the CheckBoxStyle style. Both of these properties would prevent the user from modifying the checkboxes, however, the IsEnabled property will change the visuals of each box.

Alternatively, you could use our GridViewCheckBoxColumn column and set the IsReadOnly to True. 

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding IsChecked}" IsReadOnly="True"/>

That said, I hope these suggestions work for your current scenario.
