Enable and Disable Checkbox in Datagrid

[Brian]

Hello,
I have a databound checkbox as an TemplateColumn-ItemTemplate in a datagrid
in ASP.Net. When the page loads, I want the checkbox to be disabled. However,
when I click edit, I want the checkbox to appear enable so that then can
check or uncheck the checkbox. When I click update, I then want the checkbox
to be appear disabled to the user again.

I want to do this because its stupid to keep the checkbox enabled when not
in edit mode.

Or in otherwords, how can I access the checkboxe's properties in the datagrid,
and then make then appear disabled or enabled? Trying to use e.Item.cell(2).???
is of no use.

Thanks!!

I know this is a very old post but I hit the same issue a few nights ago. To overcome it I found 2 options.

1/ If you want to change the standard layout then use an EditItemStyle and define the checkbox as enabled

2/ Attached an OnDataBindItem function that enables the control.

Both options work it just depends on the level of layout control you want.

Thank you Fred, and Welcome to DevX

It is always good to get an answer to a question, regardless of how long it takes.

I suspect that other folks have search on this issue, and found this thread. Unfortunately, until now, there was no response.

Hopefully your solution will help someone in the future that has this question.

Thanks again.
