On my ASP.NET page (using VB.NET) when the user performs a particular action on the page I wish the datagrids to be disabled and not allow their page to be changed or the link button commands to be actioned. Once the user's action is complete I wish to re-enable the grids

However, when I set the Enabled property to false the grids become greyed out as expected but the user can still change the page, select a different item and click on the various item command link buttons in the grid

How can I disable the whole grid so that the user can still see it but cannot perform any actions on it

Thanks

Off the top of my head, a quick workaround could be for you to put an IF clause in the events.

eg In Datagrid_EditCommand
if (datagrid.enabled = true)
{
//carry out function
}

so that if datagrid.enabled is false, it doesn't do anything (though the postback will still occur)

Hope that helps,
