Hi,

I have a grid whose IsEnabled property is set to FALSE. And this grid is having many child controls inside it (label, textboxes, checkboxes etc). I need to enable only the checkboxes while IsEnabled property of grid is set to FALSE. Is it possible to do this?

What I have tried:

<Grid Grid.Row="1" Margin="1 2 2 2" IsEnabled="{Binding EnableEditMode,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
                     <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                         <ColumnDefinition Width="50*" MinWidth="375" />
                         <ColumnDefinition  Width="40*"  />
                         <ColumnDefinition  Width="10*"  />
                     </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                     <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                         <RowDefinition Height="50*" />
                         <RowDefinition Height="50*"/>
                         <RowDefinition Height="50*"/>
                         <RowDefinition Height="50*"/>
                         <RowDefinition Height="50*"/>
                         <RowDefinition Height="50*"/>
                         <RowDefinition Height="50*"/>
                         <RowDefinition Height="50*"/>

It doesn't seem to be possible. Setting IsEnabled="False" on the parent automatically disables its children, even if you set IsEnabled="True" on them.

I suspect you'll need to disable the specific child controls that you want disabled, rather then disabling the entire grid.

TABiSH777 23-Oct-17 9:30am

you can't
as the parent itself is disabled, allowing the child to be inaccessible even if they are individually enabled.
Hence Solution here is as Richard said "you'll need to disable the specific child controls that you want disabled"

Have a 2nd Grid that overlays the first Grid (this is just so that you can get the sizing right), and that Grid only has the CheckBoxes any other controls required for sizing can be set to hidden as opposed to collapsed. Then just can disable the whole background grid, and leave the foreground grid with the checkboxes enabled.

Graeme_Grant · Answer 2 · 2018-04-04T04:57:00

Based on the complexity of your layout, Clifford's suggestion would be far from optimal and not recommended.

You could create a custom Grid control by inheriting the standard Grid control, add a new custom IsEnabledEx Dependency Property and manually handle the enabling/disabling of child controls as suggested above by Richard and Tabish777...
