Though we have tried
several approaches, we do not have the ability to turn on/off the editability
of individual cells. Everything seems to have negative
side-effects. We need something like “setEditable” for the cell
level. We even wrote our own function for this, but it broke other things
like drag-n-drop.
each cell ( except “tree” cells which are specific and has special
command for such purpose ) can be enabled / disabled in next way
grid.cells(rId,cInd).setDisabled(true);
Also, in case of Pro version you can use dynamic typing feature, you can
create a column as “ed” by default, but provide attribute
type=“ro” for cells in XML, which you want to set to read-only mode.
