Any way to disable a column in a DataGrid?

[Rico]

Hello,

I have a Datagrid with two rows, "Product Description" and "Serial Number".
I want the user to be able to add / edit the serial number, but not the
Product Description. In fact, I don't even want the description to be able
to get the focus (i.e. disabling the column). Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks!

You mean column?
Which grid -Win/Web? For example for web grid you can mark textbox in editTemplate
as readonly when EditCommand happend

Look into using templates for the control rather than the default.

FWIW,

Hi Michael,

My apologies, it's in a Windows form (not sure where the "two rows" came
from, but it is afterall....Friday er..at least here in Canada it is.). I
have been bouncing back and forth and accidentally posted in ASPNet
(oops...sorry).

I have searched as best I could for a solution, but can't seem to find
anything outside of setting the column to readOnly. Any direction would be
great.

Thanks!

Rico,

Will you be so kind that when you post to the newsgroup languages.vb and
dotnet.general and are writing about a Datagrid to tell that it is about
ASPNET.

In those two newsgroup WinForms is the default.

Because that you also have posted to ASPNET, I could see that you mean an
ASPNET form.

Thanks in advance.

Rico,

In the newsgroup General where you disconnected the other links I saw that
you have posted it wrong to ASPNET. Therefore again a question. Please as
you crosspost keep the newsgroups complete.

Here is the most simple answer on our website. If you want it more advance
than you can use the styles (as well a lot of samples on our website).

I hope this helps,

Oops! Sorry, my apologies. I think that's the second time I've done that.
I was bouncing back and forth between ASP.net and WinForms and have been
reference both quite a bit.

I'll be more careful next time.

Ah, I see what happened! I notice that ADO.net isn't in the newsgroup list,
which is what I had intended. Again, my apologies.
