Make column in grid editable

Hello,

E9.05.702A

I added a custom Grid and bound it to a dataview. I used the columns property to select which columns are visible.
One of the columns that I need to show and allow edit is CheckBox01. When I toggle the visible property, it sticks and I can see it but it a toggle the read only property, it doesn’t stick and the column is read only.
I go back into the customization and it’s checked as Read Only again. I can’t seem to override it.

How can I make this field editable in the grid?

Joe try setting ReadOnly=false in the EpiDataView Extended Properties

Thanks Jose.
I looked at the Object Explorer to figure out the syntax but I’m not seeing it.
If you don’t mind, what would the code look like?

Like this

edvJobHead.dataView.Table.Columns["JobNum"].ExtendedProperties["ReadOnly"] = false;

Awesome!
Thanks Jose.

Hi Jose,

I was able to make the field updateable using your code but what is odd is that the values are not saving.
I’m working in the Time and Material Invoice Review screen in the Project Management module.
I suspect that is has something to do with how screen and BO are identifying changes because there are a few fields that are updatable and if I check my checkbox, change one of these fields, and then save it will save the check box. However, if I just change the checkbox and save…it does not save.

I have a couple of ideas on how to get around this but I thought I would see if you, or others, might have an idea.
