ColumnBase.ReadOnly Property

Gets or sets whether the column's values cannot be changed by an end-user. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v14.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

[XtraSerializableProperty]
[DefaultValue(false)]
public bool ReadOnly { get; set; }

VB.NET

<XtraSerializableProperty>
<DefaultValue(False)>
Public Property ReadOnly As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	true to prevent an end-user from changing the column's values; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the column's ReadOnly property is set to true, its cell values cannot be modified by end-users. In this instance, cell editors can be invoked, but end-users can only select and copy their values. However, setting this property to true doesn't prevent cell values from being changed in code, using the GridControl.SetCellValue method.
