Canceling the Cell_Value_Changing event on checkboxes via javascript works well for making checkboxes readonly. However for regular cells that are editable, handling the Cell_Value_Changing and then canceling it does not give you the "disabled/readonly" effect. The cell still appears editable, the user can attempt to change the value and then we cancel the event which prevents the value from changing.

For non-checkbox cells I was handling the Before_Enter_Edit event and canceling that in order to give the desired "Disabled/Readonly" behavior which seems to work well.

But this means I now need to handle two unrelated events based on cell editor type just to get a simple readonly effect on the client.

Is there a cleaner way than this where I can handle a single event that works for both scenarios?

Hi Mypost,

Here is a small snippet illustrating how cell value change may be conditionally cancelled in WebDataGrid:
