Hello James,

Maybe you could achieve desired behavior using "CheckBoxVisibility" and AllowAddNew properties. Please take a look at the attached sample for more details. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to write us

Adding rows to the grid is turned off by default. So if your users can add a row to any band in the grid, it's because you explicitly turned this feature on using the AllowAddNew property on the Override.

So you are probably setting something like this:

grid.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowAddNew = AllowAddNew.Yes

There's an Override on the DisplayLayout and also on each Band. So if you set it on the DisplayLayout, you can override that setting on any individual band:

grid.DisplayLayout.Bands[2]..Override.AllowAddNew = AllowAddNew.No
