WinGrid AllowUpdate false, but allow the column with drop down to be updated
posted

hi all,

I have a simple one band Win Grid. One of columns contains a simple drop down. When I set the

DisplayLayout.Override.AllowUpdate to False,  the drop down won't work.  Is there anyway just leave this single column to be updatable?  I need the other columns to be non-updatable..

thanks in advance

    One option would be to set the CellActivation of your individual columns to ActivateOnly or NoEdit, but the editable one to AllowEdit, i.e.

    private void ultraGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeLayoutEventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (UltraGridColumn column in e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns)
        {
            if (column.Key == "EditColumn")
                column.CellActivation = Activation.AllowEdit;
            else
                column.CellActivation = Activation.NoEdit;
        }
    }

    You could also handle the BeforeEnterEditMode event and check to see if the ActiveCell of the grid is in the editable column, otherwise cancel the event.
