Row selecting

[Chad Johnson]

Greetings,

Is it possible to allow only certain rows within a grid to be selectable?  Here is the scenario:  you have a set of users, say 20.  They have a grid that logs comments, which has the ability to add and edit comments (it's EditMode is PopUp).  There is a set of users, primarily webmasters, who can edit anyone's comment, while everyone else can only edit their own comments.  To edit, you must select a record and hit the edit button.  What I want to do is to stop a user from being able to select that record either by stopping them in javascript or not allowing the row to be selectable at all.  Thanks.

Chad

Hello Chad,

To prevent a particular user from not editing other rows you can try out the following code.
aspx:

 <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="User" UniqueName="User" HeaderText="Users">
     </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

cs:

  protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            string strtxt1 = dataItem["User"].Text;
            if (strtxt1 != "John")
            {
                dataItem.Edit = false;
            }
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Thank you for your reply, but this only turned the Edit on permanetly on the page, thus not allowing users to choose at all.  Is there another way possibly?

Hello Chad,

You can stop the selection if you execute args.set_cancel(true) in the client-side OnRowSelecting event handler:

function RowSelecting(sender, args)
{
    if(your condition)
    {
       args.set_cancel(true);
    }
}

this works for me:

GridDataItem gdi;
switch (e.Item.ItemType) {
...
...
case GridItemType.EditItem:
gdi = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
gdi.SelectableMode = GridItemSelectableMode.None;
