Get column type in ".refglobaloptions.OptionType;

AnthonyV

I would like to get the column type of a field in the preOpen event so that I can cancel editing on certain columns.

I am using Keys but I don't want to limit the user's ability to move around in the table.

The following code works but I suspect I am not using the correct API.

editor.on('preOpen', function (e, mode, action) {
  var column = editor.field($editor.modifier().column);
  // This works but I suspect I am not using the proper API.
  var columnType = column.s.opts.type;
  if (columnType == 'readonly')
    return false;
});

FYI: The title on this question is messed up. It should be "Get column type in 'preOpen' "

Yep, you are going into the field object, which may change (but unlikely too). Another approach would be to check on the readonly attribute of the node, see here

Okay, so...

get the column with var column = editor.field($editor.modifier().column);

and get the readOnly attribute

using $(column.input()).attr('readonly')
instead of column.s.opts.type

Thanks.
