RadGrid InPlace Edit of specific column

[John]

Hi,

I have a grid with 5 columns, what I want to do is when editing a row, only the 5th column is editable, columns 1-4 should remain as it is, is this possible? can you please point me to a good example.

Thanks in advance
John

Hi

I am developing a Bulk edit Grid where the "Note" column is richtext and I have RADEditor to edit in Edit mode... In multiple rows editable mode I am make all cells editable which displays editors for the "Note" colums in all rows which makes the Grid looks so big and bulky...to Improve the UI

(1) I want to show the (minimum size) 1 line radeditor  in all the rows for the "Note" Column and onfocus (in current Cell) the editor should get expanded for edit and should be collapsed on blur

I would appriciate if you can show me some sample to resize radeditor (just for current cell) in edit mode..(using Javascript)

Let me know if you need any clarification

Thanks
Sid

Hi John!

If you're editing/inserting in InPlace Mode, then the solution is very easy.

You only have to set to True the ReadOnly property of the columns you don't want to be edited/inserted. (In your case, columns 1 to 4),

Note: This way works if you're not using the AutoGenerateColumns option in your RadGrid. Otherwise, you could achieve that in CodeBehind like this:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.CommandName == "Edit")
   {
      (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("Col1") as GridBoundColumn).ReadOnly = true;
      (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("Col2") as GridBoundColumn).ReadOnly = true;
      RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();
   }
}

Where Col1 and Col2 should be your columns' UniqueName.


Good Luck!
