one editable column need too many codes?

[fgaonetMember]

I have a many-columns grid. Only one column need to be editable. So far, I have to code it like:

$(“#jqxgrid”).jqxGrid({ editable: true });
$(“#jqxgrid”).jqxGrid(‘setcolumnproperty’, column1, ‘editable’, true);
$(“#jqxgrid”).jqxGrid(‘setcolumnproperty’, column2, ‘editable’, false);
//…repeate above line for each other columns
$(“#jqxgrid”).jqxGrid(‘setcolumnproperty’, column20, ‘editable’, false);

Is that a correct way? Is it possible to use ‘setcolumnproperty’ overwriting the whole grid editable? Like:

$(“#jqxgrid”).jqxGrid({ editable: false }); //it is default setting so should be omitted.
$(“#jqxgrid”).jqxGrid(‘setcolumnproperty’, column1, ‘editable’, true);

Thanks,

Hi fgaonet,

It is better to set the Grid’s editable properties during the columns array initialization.

Do you mean that my original way is the best and only way?

Hi fgaonet,

What I meant is that the “editable” property is more appropriate to be set when you initialize the Grid along with its columns array, not after that.

Yes, that what I did. My concern is too many codes I need to write explicitly.

I only need one column editable in my 20-column grid. I have to explicitly set editable with false for all other 19 columns.

That is ok if no other way.

Thanks
