Custom edit of rows

[prabhuMember]

Hi Team,

I have a requirement where I need to make a particular row in a jqxGrid non-editable. I did it using below code

var beginedit = function (row, datafield, columntype) {
if ((row == 1) || (row == 3) || (row == 5)) {
return false;
};
};

I am not able to edit the row, but when I select the row and hit ‘Delete’ button entire row got deleted. Can you suggest a way to avoid this.

Thanks,
Kishore

Hi Kishore,

Take a look at the provided example at:http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/handlekeyboard.htm?web
You can use the “handlekeyboardnavigation” callback function in order to override the “del” key’s build-in functionality.

Best Wishes,
Mariya

Thanks for your reply, I went through the keyboard navigation event. How ever how do I disable deleting the row. What is the logic that goes inside which will prevent the row from deleting. A sample code would be of great help.

With the following code I can capture the keyboard event but how do I change the rows editable property dynamically.

handlekeyboardnavigation: function(event) {
var key = event.charCode ? event.charCode : event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : 0;
if (key == 46) {
….what logic goes here……
}
},

Thanks,
Kishore

Not too old post, I wish to do the same thing as you prabhu, I want to disable delKey’s default functionnality to erase the row selected, I came to this same point as you where i can capture the event and do something when key “DEL” is pressed but I don’t find how to prevent default erasing.
Please Help ! Did you find a way to do it finally ?
