Hi,

Disabling column 0 and enabling column 1 is pretty easy. Here's a KB article that will show you how:

HOWTO:How can I make a grid or a column, row, or cell in the UltraWinGrid disabled or read-only?

You will probably also want to set the TabStop property on Column 0 to false, so that the tab key skips over that column.

To make it so that clicking on the first column actually activates the second column and puts it into edit mode is a tiny bit trickier. For that, you will have to write a little bit of code.

There are a number of approaches you could take, but here's some sample code that works well for me:

        private void ultraGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeLayoutEventArgs e)
        {
            UltraGridLayout layout = e.Layout;
            UltraGridBand band = layout.Bands[0];

            band.Columns["Column 0"].CellActivation = Activation.NoEdit;
            band.Columns["Column 0"].TabStop = false;
        }

        private void ultraGrid1_AfterCellActivate(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            UltraGrid grid = (UltraGrid)sender;
            UltraGridCell activeCell = grid.ActiveCell;
            if (grid.ActiveCell != null &&             
                grid.ActiveCell.Column.Key == "Column 0")
            {
                grid.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.NextCellByTab);
            }
        }
