Disable IEditableObject Support in the RadGridView Data Engine through ShouldRespectIEditableObject Property
Updated on Sep 15, 2025
As of Q1 2016, we've introduced the ShouldRespectIEditableObject property. The default value is True. Setting it to false will prevent the RadGridView Data Engine from calling the IEditableObject methods - BeginEdit(), CancelEdit() and EndEdit().
Setting ShouldRespectIEditableObject to False will only prevent the IEditableObject methods of the object implementing the interface. RadGridView's BeginEdit(), CancelEdit() and EndEdit() methods will still be executed and the respective events will be raised.
Example 1: Setting ShouldRespectIEditableObject
XAML
<telerik:RadGridView Name="gridView" ShouldRespectIEditableObject="False" />
