    Hello all.

    I have a custom entity called new_friend which has a N:1 relationship with account entity (new_accountid is the relationship lookup).

    On the new_friend form, I need to display a subgrid of the account's contacts; the challenge being that this subgrid CANNOT be edited and user should not be able to open a contact form by double-clicking on the subgrid's row.

    I can customize the ribbon but how to prevent the user from double-clicking on the subgrid's row?
    Also, this subgrid is READ ONLY for ALL users, no exception.

    What are my options (if any)?

    Thanks,

    Frank

    Hi Frank,

    There's no supported way to make a sub-grid read only as far as I am aware. Your best/nicest option would be to build a html web resource that shows the associated contacts but is read-only. You could do the same with a Silverlight control but that wouldn't work some devices such as an ipad.

    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for your response (which doesn't really surprise me).
    Do you know where I could find a sample or tutorial that would allow me to get started (for HTML, not Silverlight).

    Thanks,

    Frank

    Hi Frank,

    In your scenario.. Please call a line of  jscript code to disable the grid on the form onload event after grid loads.

    function disableGrid(){

    document.getElementById('Your_Grid_Id').disabled = true;

    }

    attach the above method on  onreadyStateChange of the Iframe where grid is being render. Check the condition of complete of loading event of Iframe. The line of code will make the grid disabled.

    Thanks

    Kuldeep

    That code is unsupported and may break when future rollups or upgrades are applied.

    Use at your own risk Frank.
