How can I vary the edit options for rows of same column?
posted

I want to implement a grid where I can edit different rows of the same column, but have different options depending on the row.

00 01 02
10 11 12
20 21

22
30 31

32

For example I want:
Cell "00" to be of type string not editable.
Cell "10" to be editable with type string.
Cell "20" to be editable with predefined values from a dropdown
Cel "30" to be editable with a number type with a min and max value

How would i implement this using Infragistics IgGrid?

    Hello Mohammed,

     

    Thank you for posting in our forum.

     

    This type of editing on a “per-column” instead of “per-row” basis is not currently supported by the igGrid – by design it uses a single editor for each column.

     

    The reason for this architectural decision is that too many editors might add a performance overhead and slow down the client’s browser if the currently edited column has many visible rows.

     

    I would appreciate some more details with regard to your scenario and why you need such custom “column” editing, as well as the way your data is structured before binding the igGrid? How many rows and columns do you typically display in this igGrid?

     

    I look forward to hearing from you.
