Make DataGrid row read-only based on a cell's value

[lorena]

I have a datagrid for a user to edit records. It will load "ALL", "OPEN" or "CLOSED" records depending on a value selected from a dropdown. With "ALL" and "CLOSED" records, any records that are closed are not (or should not) be available for editing. It will depend on whether or not the cell containing the close date has a value.

Is there a way to disable a row when a date is present in the "close date" cell? Thanks in advance.

How are you displaying the datagrid columns right now? Bound Columns or Template Columns?

Set up a check in the item data bound event.

Take a look at the articles here:

In particular Part 8 (as well as being a useful concept in it's own right) covers the item databound event that you need to use. It also covers getting a reference to the delet button. In your case you will want to remove or hide the eidt button based on a test of the data in that row but the principle is similar.
