How to skip editing for read-only colums in AddNewRow of WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid)?
1 min read
You can edit all the columns in AddNewRow including Read-Only columns as default in WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid). But you can skip the editing for Read-Only columns by using CurrentCellBeginEdit event.
C#
this.grid.CurrentCellBeginEdit += grid_CurrentCellBeginEdit; void grid_CurrentCellBeginEdit(object sender, CurrentCellBeginEditEventArgs args) { var rowIndex = args.RowColumnIndex.RowIndex; //If the rowindex in AddNewRowIndex, we need to validate whether the property is readonly or not. if (this.grid.IsAddNewIndex(rowIndex)) { //pdc - PropertyDescriptorCollection. var pdc = this.grid.View.GetItemProperties(); //get the propertyinfo from PropertyDescriptorCollection. var propertyInfo = pdc.Find(args.Column.MappingName, true); //property is readonly you can cancel the editing of the cell. if (propertyInfo.IsReadOnly) { args.Cancel = true; } } }
