Hi Douglas Badin,

     Usually, we can only set the WebGrid column property dynamically in server side event of PrepareDataBinding and InitializeLayout. In your case, could you kindly try to use these block of code. 

        WebGrid1.ClearCachedDataSource();
        WebGrid1.RebindDataSource();

      These code, ClearCachedDataSource and RebindDataSource, are used to clear cached data source and rebind the datasource. That is why, it is also can help us to re-triggered the server side InitializeLayout event.

       I hope it helps. Thank you and have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Andi Santoso

Hi,

That does not cause the InitializeLayout or PrepareDataBinding to fire again.

Like I said before, I was already doing a RebindDataSource in the User Control's Page_PreRender.  Doing ClearCachedDataSource() before RebindDataSource did not help.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Doug

The issue has been discussed further in Live Chat. Since the goal is to modify the ability to enable or disable edit of a row or cell, using client side event handler OnAfterInitialize is possible to achieve such feature.

The client side function to disable edit is SetForceNoEdit(true), which could be applied to WebGrid cell object or WebGrid row object. Here is the snippet to disable first row in WebGrid and column Author in second row of WebGrid:

grid.RootTable.GetRow(0).SetForceNoEdit(true);

grid.RootTable.GetRow(1).GetCell('Author').SetForceNoEdit(true);

Setting the WebGridColumn.DefaultValue worked in OnAfterInitialize

I was finally able to call the WebGridCell.SetForceNoEdit Method in OnAfterInitialize but it didn't stick.

I found this post and was able to get SetForceNoEdit to work in the SetForceNoEdit OnRowSelect.

Glad to hear that the issue has been solved.
