Disable Edit, or read only row

wkeull

I have the need to either disable the edit button. I have been successful with the js to select this data however it seems that the underlying scripts prevent this enable/disable from operating as expected for example via:
table.button( 1 ).enable( data === 1 );

Is there a means that I am over looking to make this function as intended? Alternatively, another option would be to mark a row as read only, is this a possibility?

The edit button has its own enable and disable code via the selected (source code) which will do its own enable / disable. I suspect that is what is interfering with your own.

I'd suggest providing your own init function for your button which should add whatever event handlers you need - that will override the original, making sure that there will be no conflict.

Allan,
Thanks for the help that was exactly the direction I needed to go. The below was successful:

// Display the buttons
new $.fn.dataTable.Buttons( table, [
    { extend: "create", editor: editor},
    {
        text: 'Edit',
        init: function ( dt, node, config ) {
            this.disable();
            }
    }
] );

  //enabledisable based on cell value
 table.on( 'select', function () {      
    var data = table.rows( { selected: true } ).data();
    data = parseInt(data[0]['work_status']['step_complete']);
    table.button( 1 ).enable( data === 1 ?
            false :
    true
    );
} );
