How do you make several columns in table view readonly when you have inline editing enabled?

Is there a way to make several columns read-only in table view using columnDefs or other? Something like:

{ targets: [ 1,2,3 ],
render: 'readonly';
}

or

{ targets: [1,2,3],
render: function( data, type, row ) {
return something;
}
},

Is this using inline editing? If so, it would be jQuery selector used there that would determine if it's readonly. You could add styling to show that with columns.className,

$('#example').dataTable( {
"columnDefs": [
{ className: "my_class", "targets": [ 2,3,5,6 ] }
]
} );

I see this but how do you make it read-only?

colin

As I mentioned, you would use the selector for inline editing, see here,

  $('#example').on('click', 'tbody tr td:not(:nth-child(2), :nth-child(3))', function() {
    editor.inline(this);
  });
