Different ReadOnly in Grids?

[mkendi]

This code (InitEvent of the Grid) ends with a ReadOnly Column:

THIS.Column1.Header1.CAPTION = ""
THIS.Column1.WIDTH = 40
THIS.Column1.CONTROLSOURCE = "TableXYZ.abc"
THIS.column1.ReadOnly = TRUE


This code doesn't end with a ReadOnly Column:

THIS.Column1.Header1.CAPTION = ""
THIS.Column1.WIDTH = 40
THIS.Column1.CONTROLSOURCE = "TableXYZ.abc"
THIS.column1.Text1.ReadOnly = TRUE

No problem to write for each column this line of code, but it would be nice to know, why the grids behavior is not the same.

Thanks in advance

Not the same as what?

Not the same behavior:

THIS.column1.ReadOnly = TRUE
THIS.column1.Text1.ReadOnly = TRUE

 

[mkendi]

Or say it other words:

THIS.column1.ReadOnly = TRUE ==> YES, indeed readonly
THIS.column1.Text1.ReadOnly = TRUE ==> NO, column is not readonly

THIS.column1.ReadOnly = TRUE

Shouldn't this read THIS.column1.ReadOnly = .T.

I still have problem understaning your question.

THIS.column1.ReadOnly = TRUE ==> YES, indeed readonly
THIS.column1.Text1.ReadOnly = TRUE ==> NO, column is not readonly

This is by design. I goes in order Grid->column->Textbox.
1. If you want the hole grid disabled, disable the grid, everything else below that (columns and texboxed) will be disabled.
2. If you just want one or two columns disabled, just set the read-only = .t. to the appropriate columns.
