Want to make a single row editable

[Jason]

Hello, I'm trying to create a grid that allows editing when I click a command column button but only for that row, all other rows should stay read-only to reduce human error.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,

Thank you for writing.

You can achieve the desired behavior by creating a flag which indicates whether edit is possible or not. The flag will be true when the button is clicked and false when the CurrentRow is changed. In order to allow or prevent the editing operation in the CellBeginEdit set the Cancel property from the arguments to the negate flag:

bool allowEdit = false;

void radGridView1_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = !allowEdit;
}

void radGridView1_CurrentRowChanged(object sender, CurrentRowChangedEventArgs e)
{
    allowEdit = false;
}

void radGridView1_CommandCellClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    allowEdit = true;
}

I hope that you find this information helpful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
