I'd like to use a Kendo grid in batch edit mode, but need to mark certain columns as readonly.  Is this feature supported?  If so, please advise as to how I can do this.  If not, could you advise as to when we can expect this?

EDIT: I see that this is still an issue in the Q2-2012 KendoUI release.  Please advise if/when you will be supporting this feature?

@Santiago...I found it to be an issue in Q2-2012 by downloading it, using it in my project and then trying to assign set a column as readonly in my BatchEdit grid.

I think I found the solution for your problem. I had the same problem and found out that there are some differences in this case in comparison to Telerik (where ReadOnly was a property for a column)

In your DataSource you have to specify which column should not be editable:
.DataSource(dataSource =>
    dataSource.Ajax().Read("AjaxInitGrid", "Shared").Model(model =>
    {
        model.Id(p => p.ID);
        model.Field(p => p.CreationDate).Editable(false);
           model.Field(p => p.BirthDate).Editable(false);
    })
)

Using .Editable(false) makes columns which are bound to these properties ReadOnly. I don't know why, but the model.Id - line is necessary.

Hope I was able to help you.
