How to edit data in datagrid?

Question

Hi everyone,

I am using MVVM pattern,i have a datatable which has some data and it is  bind to a datagrid. Now i want to edit some data inside my datagrid at run time and according to that changes i want to update my collection,i know it can be done by putting columns editable. But my problem is that there is three columns in my datatable which i dont want to edit at runtime,and columns in datagrids are autogenerated because data in the data table is not predictable. So how to do it?  please help me .

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

<mx:DataGrid id="testGrid" editable="true"> 
        <mx:columns> 
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column1" dataField="column1" editable="false" /> 
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column2" dataField="column2" /> 
        </mx:columns> 
        <mx:dataProvider> 
            <mx:ArrayCollection> 
                <mx:Object> 
                    <mx:column1>Some Value</mx:column1> 
                    <mx:column2>Some Other Value</mx:column2> 
                </mx:Object> 
            </mx:ArrayCollection> 
        </mx:dataProvider> 
    </mx:DataGrid> 

If you know the names of the columns that are auto generated then you should be able to add editable="false" in code behind if you create it in code behind

Answer 4

If you using AutGenerate columns, it will make the column not editable if the property is ReadOnly.  This may or may not be something you can change, but thought I'd throw that out there.
