DataGrid Columns: not editable property

I've looked everywhere for this.
How do I designate a single column of my DataGrid to be non-editable.
That is-- I don't want the user to be able to double click to edit.

In the "Default column" script (see lesson
http://tinyurl.com/3rnhpxv) change the mousedoubleup handler by adding 1 line :
Code: Select all
on mouseDoubleUp pMouseBtnNum
if pMouseBtnNum is 1 then
-- add the following line
if the dgcolumn of me = "Col 1" then exit to top -- put the name of the column you don't want to be edited
if the dgProps["allow editing"] of the dgControl of me then
-- Edit field contents if the user double-clicks
EditValue
exit mouseDoubleUp
end if
end if
pass mouseDoubleUp
end mouseDoubleUp

I've been struggling with extended DataGrid behaviors and properties for a couple of days now. It's been very confusing. Having to create a "default column" button, and then link the button to the DataGrid via a Message Box command, just to prevent editing in one column-- seemed a long way to go. Everything else about LiveCode has been so logical and well placed. This just didn't make sense.
Anyway-- I started using the
DataGrid Helper plugin-- and Wow! This should be built into the LiveCode IDE. It's simple-- and intuitive. So-- I'm very pleased with this find. It's just what I needed.
I just double click on any DataGrid and there are TONS of properties and behaviors for me to select from! That's how it should be! Anyone who is working with DataGrids needs check this out. Why work harder than you have to?
