Prevent edits in one datagrid column

[Engineerik]

I have a datagrid bound to a datatable with only two columns.
This is a list of properties and their values.
I want the user to be able to perform edits only on the property values
but I don't want them to be able to edit the property names.

I can use the keypress event to cancel the keypress if the
currentcell.columnnumber is 0.
Is there a slicker way to handle this?

Regards,
Erik

Hi,

Add a tablestyle to your datagrid. Set the readonly property of the
datagridtextboxcolumn to true for the column you do not want the user to
edit.

That is exactly what I was looking for but couldn't find.
Perfect!
