Any way to disable a column in a DataGrid?

Hello,

I have a Datagrid with two rows, "Product Description" and "Serial Number".
I want the user to be able to add / edit the serial number, but not the
Product Description. In fact, I don't even want the description to be able
to get the focus (i.e. disabling the column). Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks!

Look into using templates for the control rather than the default.

FWIW,

Rico,

Will you be so kind that when you post to the newsgroup languages.vb and
dotnet.general and are writing about a Datagrid to tell that it is about
ASPNET.

In those two newsgroup WinForms is the default.

Because that you also have posted to ASPNET, I could see that you mean an
ASPNET form.

Thanks in advance.

Cor

Rico,

In the newsgroup General where you disconnected the other links I saw that
you have posted it wrong to ASPNET. Therefore again a question. Please as
you crosspost keep the newsgroups complete.

Here is the most simple answer on our website. If you want it more advance
than you can use the styles (as well a lot of samples on our website).

I hope this helps,

Cor
