Making a field not editable in a grid

[Brendan Vogt]

Hi,

I have a grid in which the rows can be edited.  When I click on the Edit link a row goes into edit mode.  But there are certain fields that I don't want edited.  Instead of it putting the value into a textbox for edit, I just want a label control there with the value in to.  How do I do this?

Here is my pice of code:

<radG:GridBoundColumn
   UniqueName="CurrentAccountNumber"
   DataField="CurrentAccountNumber"
   HeaderText="Current Account Number" />

Thanks
Brendan

Hi Brendan,

You can set ReadOnly to true to achieve this.

Hi Brendan,

You can also try the following approach if you want to put a label instead of the TextBox in edit mode for GridBoundColumn.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditableItem edititem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            Label lbl = new Label();
            lbl.ID="Label1";
            TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)edititem["CurrentAccountNumber"].Controls[0];
            lbl.Text = txtbx.Text;
            edititem["CurrentAccountNumber"].Controls.Clear();
            edititem["CurrentAccountNumber"].Controls.Add(lbl);
        }

    }

Thanks
Shinu.

Thanks.

I have another question.  When I insert a new record, all the columns marked as read only don't display any text.  I need it to be populated with default text.  How do I do this?

Thanks
