Property Value

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.

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
