dynamic read only

montoyam

There are times I want the user to be able to open the editor (because it has more fields displayed than the data table) but I don't want them to be able to update anything. Is there a way to remove the 'Update' button or changing the action of the update button to close without saving?

If (readOnly==1) {
//remove or change update button
}

You can use the formButtons to do that - this example here should get you going.

perfect:

                buttons: [
                    { extend: 'create', editor: SubmissionsEditor },
                    {
                        extend: 'edit',
                        text: 'Edit/View',
                        editor: SubmissionsEditor,
                        formButtons: {
                            text: function () {
                                var selected = SubmissionsTable.row({ selected: true });

                                if (selected.data().Submissions.ResolutionMethodID == 0) {
                                    return 'Update';
                                } else {
                                    return 'Close';
                                }
                            },

                            action: function () {
                                var selected = SubmissionsTable.row({ selected: true });
                                if (selected.data().Submissions.ResolutionMethodID == 0) {
                                    this.submit();
                                } else {
                                    this.close();
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }

                ]
