Powerbuilder: Making certain rows editable and certain rows non-editable in a datawindow

Question

Hi, how can I make certain rows editable and certain rows non-editable of a datawindow?

I am adding the rows using pfc_addrow() event of the datawindow, and I want some of them to be editable and some of them to be non-editable.

Is there any way to do it?

You could set the 'Protect' property of all the columns equal to the value of another, hidden column, either in the properties dialog or like this:

dw_1.Modify("column_name.Protect='hidden_column'")

Then on the rows you wish to be non-editable, set your hidden column value to 1.
