To disable edit masks for the entire row in a Matrix - Grid, set event property "Before Edit" with following code fragment (follwing sample disables the non-always on edit mask ,such as menu and select/combo.
Always on edit mask, such as checkbox and button, are disabled by the jsxdisabled="1" in the record row. E.g.
]]>
if (this.getRecord(strRECORDID).jsxdisabled == 1) false;
To disable Non-always-on edit mask of an entire column in a Matrix - Grid, set event property "Before Edit" (Following code disables the "comboColumn" by evaluating to false in "Before Edit" event handler).
NOTE
These sample code fragment goes into the event handler it self, but the code fragment is not part of a function, so should not use return statement. It should simply evaluate to true or false.
if (objCOLUMN.getName() == "comboColumn") false; else {jsx3.log('EVENT: (jsxbeforeedit). Record: ' + strRECORDID); }
Follow similar logic to disable edit mask of a cell based on different factors such as the value of the another column. In "Befor Edit" event property, this code
if (this.getRecord(strRECORDID).status == "Deployed" && objCOLUMN.getName() == "selectMachine" ) false;
will disable the "selectMachine" cell (column) if status cell (column) has the value "Deployed".
Update
I realized that this blog post was not clear enough regarding how different Edit Mask are disabled. First there are two types of edit masks in Matrix (editable grid Matrix control).
The first type is the "always-on" edit mask such as : button, checkbox, radio button, etc. An always-on edit mask is always displayed without user action.
The second type is the "non-always-on" edit mask such as : textbox, select, datepicker, etc. These editmask are display only when user focus on the cell.
