[Solved] Put only one column in edit mode

[Lucas Harron]

I was wondering if there is a way to put only one column in edit mode.

I have tried setting the ReadOnly property to true except the column I want to be in Edit mode. I then use:

for (int i = 0; i < RadGrid_Main.PageSize; i++)
{
       RadGrid_Main.EditIndexes.Add(i);
}

This achieves the effect I am looking for, but then the grid shows the Edit skin for every row. I want to grid to look normal except show edit boxes for only 1 column. Is there any way around this?

Thanks,
Lucas

Hello Lucas,

You can either set the EditItemStyle>CssClass to the desired settings such that the grid in edit mode looks similar to the grid when its in normal view mode:
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" >
     <EditItemStyle CssClass="myeditrow" />
            <MasterTableView>

An alternative solution would be to use a GridTemplateColumn with a textbox in its ItemTemplate rather than setting readonly for all non editable columns and setting the whole grid in EditMode.

Thanks
Princy.
