AllowUpdate Property

Returns or sets a value that determines whether the user is allowed to update the data.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property AllowUpdate As Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean
public Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean AllowUpdate {get; set;}
Remarks

The AllowUpdate property determines whether to permit changes to the data displayed in the band or the grid controlled by the specified override. All data entry functionality is disabled when AllowUpdate is set to False. Cells may be selected and placed in edit mode, but their contents cannot be edited. Users can still view data, select all or part of it and copy it to the clipboard. They can also re-arrange the layout of the grid by moving and resizing columns, groups, rows, etc.

Example
Following code sets various properties that control whether the user can modify data in the UltraGrid in various ways.
