jqGrid - hide column in form edit but visible in grid

Question

I know jqGrid can hide the column in grid but visiable in edit form. Is there options for the other way around? In other words, does jqGrid have the option to hide the columns during form editing but visible in grid?

One useful scenario would be have a concatenated column composed of more than one columns, such as lastname + ' ' + firstname.

Look at my previous answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3405029/jqgrid-disable-form-fields-when-editing/3405961#3405961. It seems that is exactly what you need.

If you want to create some custom fields in the edit form which will look like not as standard fields another answer could be also interesting http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3054811/add-multiple-input-elements-in-a-custom-edit-type-field/3055626#3055626.
