That does the trick.  But...

How about removing it from the tab stop.  It would be nice not to stop on the field if it's readonly.

Thanks

I have a xamdatadrid with many columns.
For example, Name, Age, Location etc are the columns.

Name & Location are editable fields normally.

If Age is > 60, Name field should be readonly and Location will still editable for such records.
How to make readonly columns at runtime based on values of other cell of a particular record? And if so, which method to hook - like InitializeRecord or sthg else?

Please clarify.

I have tried using this approach with a little bit of success. Just a couple of extra observations on this though:

1. Because you need to set AllowEdit to True for this solution, you will need to provide a dummy set accessor for the read only property. Without it, the behaviour seems to ignore the AllowEdit property and the event does not fire (as expected).

2. The <Shift>-<Tab> will not work as you tab back, the code imediately pushes you forward to where you came from.

It is a pitty that the xamDataGrid control does not affect the IsTabStop based the lack of a set accessor. It seems to for the AllowEdit side of things. I have tried using the KeyboardNavigation.IsTabStop property on the Filed without success.

Hello again,

As a workaround you can use the following:

Handle the EditModeStarted event like this:

 private void xamDataGrid1_EditModeStarted(object sender, Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter.Events.EditModeStartedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Cell.Field.Name == "COLUMN_NAME")   // check for cell by either ColumnName or index
            {
                xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellNextByTab);
                e.Handled = true;
            }

        }

NOTE: You need the set to AllowEdit - True (not to false as suggested in the previous post) in order for the event to fire.

Hope this helps.
Alex.

Hello Geoff,

I think that is not supported. If the XamEditor is embedded in the XamDataGrid the tab navigation cannot be modified. I will look for a possible workaround and if I find one I will post it here.
