You can use the beforeShowForm event which should be diffrent for the diffrent actions. Let suppose that the field has a name mykey, then in editGridRow beforeShowForm event

beforeShowForm : function(formid) {
   jQuery(”#mykey”,formid).attr(”readonly”,true);

}

in add mode in beforeShowForm

beforeShowForm : function(formid) {
   jQuery(”#mykey”,formid).removeAttr(”readonly”);

}

Hope this helps

I apologize in advance if there is already functionality for the following issue my developer has brought to my attention.

We have many tables where the user enters a unique key when inserting a new record.  This key field is not to be changed after it has been inserted. Therefore when the user clicks on a row to edit, we need the key fields to be locked for editing.  The key fields should only be editable when adding a new record.

How can we handle this situation with the current grid functionality?

If it cannot be done, I'm requesting the ability to toggle a column as editable/uneditable for “Add” AND “Edit”.  Right now it seems we are limited to make the field editable on both Add and Edit instead of either/or.

Thanks for any help or guidance in this situation.
