ReadOnly Property (GridElement)

Gets or sets a boolean value indicating if the content of cell(s) can be edited.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
<DescriptionAttribute("Indicates if the content of cells(s) can be edited.")>
<CategoryAttribute("Behavior")>
Public Property ReadOnly As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As GridElement
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.ReadOnly = value
 
value = instance.ReadOnly

[Description("Indicates if the content of cells(s) can be edited.")]
[Category("Behavior")]
public bool ReadOnly {get; set;}

Property Value

true if the content of cell(s) cannot be edited; false (default) otherwise.

Remarks

If the IsReadOnlyAmbient property returns true, then the value of the ReadOnly property is inherited from its parent.

To reset the value of the ReadOnly property to its default value, DefaultReadOnly, the ResetReadOnly method must be called.

If the ReadOnly property is set to true but the DataBoundColumn.ReadOnlyDataSource property is false, then the content of the grid element can not be edited.

Although the ReadOnly property ultimately affects only cells, it is defined in the GridElement class because of ambientness.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
