Vaadin Grid allows to be defined as editable with
grid.setEditorEnabled(true);
This makes all visible columns editable. However I don't want the user to edit an specific column, but seems like the editable is an all or nothing.
The next best solution I have found is to define an editor field with a disabled editor, which almost does the trick but the user is still able to select the text and move the cursor (but the field is not editable anymore).
Grid.Column nameColumn = grid.getColumn("fullName");
nameColumn.setHeaderCaption("Full Name");
nameColumn.setEditorField(getNoEditableTextField());
...
private Field<?> getNoEditableTextField() {
TextField noEditableTextFiled = new TextField();
noEditableTextFiled.setEnabled(false);
return noEditableTextFiled;
}
I believe Label cannot be used because it's not a Field.
Is there a better option to achieve this?
edit: as aakath said, there is a way of achieving this not enabling the column to be edited, but in doing so the cell value disappears when you edit the row, which is not desirable.
my solution is below. i have just finished. it was not tested too much. but it may give you some ideas.
