完全禁用掌上电脑

Question

I have just started using handsontable with JSON data and its working great but I need to disable all table input to certain users (read-only view).

Is there a way to completely disable a handsontable so none of the inputs respond and the remove row plugin doesn't function? I have tried http://dougestep.com/dme/jquery-disabler-widget-demos which doesn't seem to work and http://malsup.com/jquery/block/#element which works but it essentially creates an iframe overlay over the controls and with the removerow plugin the position is off set incorrectly.

Answer 1

To fully "disable" a Handsontable I have done the following:

hot.updateSettings({
    readOnly: true, // make table cells read-only
    contextMenu: false, // disable context menu to change things
    disableVisualSelection: true, // prevent user from visually selecting
    manualColumnResize: false, // prevent dragging to resize columns
    manualRowResize: false, // prevent dragging to resize rows
    comments: false // prevent editing of comments
});

Answer 2

You can do this using the updateSettings

var hot = $("#exampleGrid").handsontable('getInstance');
hot.updateSettings({
        readOnly: true
    });
