[Solved] Read Only Columns

[Eric]

I have a grid that is bound and already filled with data and it opens with all rows in edit mode.  the first column is GridClientSelectColumn.  I want all records on the row the be read only until the user checks the GridClientSelectColumn then I want only certain cells in the row to be editable.  How can I do this.

Also one other question.
I have a grid that is bound and populated tieh data.  If a user selects a field on the web page I want to change the cells values based on that event.  Is there a way to loop through the grid rows.  Look at the value of the first cell and if it matches the value the user has supplied that I can then alter each cell in that row and change it's value.  

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,

In order to achieve your purpose, you could handle the ItemCreated or ItemDataBound event of RadGrid. There, if the current item is in edit mode, you can access and set the edit controls as readonly initially.  Then I suggest that you set the ClientSettings.EnablePostBackOnRowClick property to true and handle the ItemCommand event to enable the desired fields when grid row is selected . 
You can review the below articles for more information on how to access grid cell and rows:

Regarding your second question: Try the below code for looping through all grid rows:

foreach (GridEditableItem item in RadGrid1.Items)
{

}

Please check it out and let me know if any issues arise.
