Title: Editable Row
Post by: TonyLeech on April 15, 2016, 09:47:11 pm

I have a table for creating and editing company stocked parts which has the PartNumber column set to 'editable: false' in the ColModel.

When the "New Part" toolbar button is clicked I use the 'grid.editCell' method to override editing and allow the user to type a new PartNumber...so normally users cannot change PartNumber, whereas they can change other existing Part parameters.

If they navigate away from PartNumber to complete remaining data entries they cannot then return to the PartNumber (in case of mistake) because the PartNumber is returned to default state of non editable. 

I can see ways to change editable state of the whole column, which I don't want to do because I don't want existing PartNumbers changed.  Is there a method to make a whole row, or specific cells, editable even after adjacent cells have been clicked/edited in the meantime?

(Currently still using version 3.2)

1) column.editable can also be a callback function in which edit ability of a field can be decided based on any arbitrary run time condition.

2) Edit ability of a whole row can be based on run time condition with help of editable callback
