making a column non-editable

[naveenMember]

Hi,

I found below code that makes whole grid non-editable.

$(‘#jqxgrid’).jqxGrid({ editable: true});

Is there any such code that makes only particular columns non-editable? Thank you.

Naveen

Hi Naveen,

The pasted code makes the Grid editable. If you want to make it non-editable, do the following:

$(‘#jqxgrid’).jqxGrid({ editable: false});

Each column has editable property, too. If you set it to false, the column will not be editable.

I searched and not able to found the column non-editable property. Do you have an example that shows to make a column non-editable?

You can take a look at the columns property in the API documentation. You just need to set the column’s editable property to false,

In the Example below, the First Name column’s editing is disabled.

            $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid(
            {
                width: 600,
                source: dataAdapter,
                editable: true,
                theme: theme,
                selectionmode: 'singlecell',
                editmode: 'click',
                columns: [
                  { text: 'First Name', editable: false, columntype: 'textbox', datafield: 'firstname', width: 90 },
                  { text: 'Last Name', datafield: 'lastname', width: 90 },
                  { text: 'Product', datafield: 'productname' },
                  { text: 'Quantity', datafield: 'quantity', width: 70, cellsalign: 'right' },
                  { text: 'Available', datafield: 'available', columntype: 'checkbox', width: 67 }
               ]
            });

Hi Peter, similar question. Would you have an example of setting this property after the Grid has already been created? I am having trouble finding the API to change the editable attribute for a column when it is not part of the create block.
