"ReadOnly" grid with AddNew

[joe castle]

Hi,

I would like to have a "ReadOnly" grid, meaning that I can select, add new (enabled ShowInsertRow) and delete rows but I should not be able to edit cells. If I just set the IsReadOnly = true it locks the whole grid.

Thanks

Hello,

You can subscribe to the BeginningEdit event  as shown below:

private void RadGridView1_BeginningEdit(object sender, GridViewBeginningEditRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.RadGridView1.Items.CurrentAddItem != e.Row.Item)
            {
                e.Cancel = true;
                return;
            }
        }

This will ensure that you can edit only if a new item is added. In all the other case, editing will be canceled.
Furthermore, when defining the event this way, both selection and deletion are possible.

Best wishes,
