DataGrid columns..

[wyrd]

In a DataView you can easily set a column as read only, but I was wondering if there was a way in the DataGrid to set a columns enabled to false. Read only still allows them to edit it, and just changes the value back after they click outside the column. Im looking for a way so they cant edit whats in side at all (no changing!) or even click inside the column.

Better yet, is there a way to filter columns displayed with the DataView? I know theres RowFilter, but nothing that seems to cover column filtering.

If you mean to hide columns (your second question), you have to define a new DataGridTableStyle. Check the help for more info. I believe you can also make columns non-editable this way but Im not sure if theres an easier way.

Aha! So thats where it was hiding. Interesting. And very nice. Thanks.

In the future .NET should add column support to the DataView class so I can easily filter them out using that instead. They designed it to filter rows, why not columns too? And just because you can do it with a DataGrid is not the point!

*ponder* Come to think of it, when I become an all mighty guru maybe Ill extend the DataView class so you can do just that.
