How can I define a grid column that is of type 'price' and is readonly at the same time?

Hi,

I think there is a misunderstanding about the nature of column types when it comes to particular column type called readonly (ro).

Readonly is a behavioral attribute of a column and shouldn't be mixed with other data types types like string, price, tree,date, numerical ...etc.

So again, how can we have a column of particular type and is readonly at the same time?

Thanks,

a) It can be done by creating new excell type.

b) it can be done by using ron column with formatting
    grid.setColTypes("ron");
    grid.setNumberFormat(0,"$0,000");

c) It can be done by custom event

    grid.attachEvent("onEditCell",function(id,ind){
       if (ind == INDEX ) return false;
       return true;
    })


where INDEX - index of column which need to be switched to readonly.


>>Readonly is a behavioral attribute of a column and shouldn't be mixed
Basically it is correct, but in current design excell control all aspects of data editing|rendering, and we can't just jump to new approach because of backward compatibility issues.
