[Solved] Set edit column visible=false

[Nancy Cara]

I have a self-hierarchy grid that has three boolean columns IsText, IsDate, IsParty. 

I want to set three other columns visiblility in edit mode to the value of the boolean fields. i.e. ...


EditTextColumn.visible = IsText;
EditDateColumn.visible = IsDate;
EditPartyColumn.visible = IsParty;

Where would this best be done? I am trying the ItemCommand but can't seem to cast the selected item to columns so I can set visibility.

Actually it is not the visible property I need to change. I want the column to be not editable if boolean column is false. I guess that is readonly and/or display properties?  I'm not sure if I should set this on editcommand or on databound since all the columns are auto generated and each row will have different boolean values.

i.e. data looks like this:
ID, Name, ParentID,  IsDate, IsText, IsParty, EditDate, EditText  EditParty

1,'Brochure mailed',0,0,0,0,null,null,null
2,'Date mailed',1,0,0,0,'12/12/2007',null,null
3,'Mailed by',1,0,0,1,null,null,1001

Row 2 isdate=true, istext=false, isparty=false - so only EditDate is editable.
Row 3 isdate=false, istext=false, isparty=true so only EditParty is editable

Hello Nancy Cara,

Yes, you need to use the Readonly property of the RadGrid. And you can handle the EditCommand for your purpose. I've made a sample project for you. Please have a look at it and let us know if that helps.

Thank-you Iana. Your example does not use a self-hierarchy grid so that may be the problem. I have opened a support ticket #124093 for help on this as I have spent enough hours on it and must move on.

Basically the editcommand fires on edit click and does appear to set readonly to false/true however the edit boxes appear in edit mode fully editable every time regardless.
