Telerik WebForms Grid for ASP.NET AJAX

DESCRIPTION

Sometimes, you might want to disable the EnablePostBackOnRowClick property when clicking on a cell, which is located in a specific column.

SOLUTION

To do that, you can utilize the [OnCellSelecting]({%slug grid/client-side-programming/events/oncellselecting%}) event, and in it, check for the unique name of the column of the currently clicked cell.

function onCellSelecting(sender, args) {
    var columnName = args.get_column().get_uniqueName();

    if (columnName == "OrderID") { 
        sender.ClientSettings.EnablePostBackOnRowClick = false;
        args.set_cancel(true);
    }
    else {
        sender.ClientSettings.EnablePostBackOnRowClick = true;
    }
}
