Make only selected rows editable

[robfParticipant]

Hello,
I have a grid that contains checkbox column. I would like ONLY the rows that are check-marked to be editable; unchecked, they should revert to
being not editable.

I believe the entire grid should be set to editable:false and then only set the selected row (index) be set to editable – something like this?
$(‘#jqxgrid’).jqxGrid({ editable: true });
$(‘#jqxgrid’).jqxGrid({ editable: false });

My question is how to turn the edit on and off for the currently selected/unselected row?

Any guidance is appreciated.
Thank you!
Rob

Hi,

Please see the following demo:
https://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/index.htm#demos/jqxgrid/disableeditingofrows.htm

You can see that the cellbeginedit and cellsrenderer functions are used.
cellbeginedit is used to disable the editing for specific rows, in that function, you may use custom logic to determine whether a row should be editable or not. To disable the editing return false to this function. You receive the following arguments: (row, datafield, columntype).

Here is an example of you desired behaviour: http://jsfiddle.net/dn4ov8pL/

I hope this helps!

Hi – and thank you for your prompt reply!

I think I understand what you outlined, but notice that the “Available” column (which sets row as uneditable) cannot be turned back on once it is turned off. What I was trying to do was have a ‘first column’ select/checkbox and toggling this value set the remaining cells in the row editable/not editable. Hope that makes sense.

Any further help much appreciated!
Thanks.
