How to lock a checkbox column

    I am locking rows depending on a value in every row. I am able to do this by using getRange(…).locked(). It locks text and comboboxes columns but the columns for type CheckBox are not being locked, what should I do to lock them?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    We are sorry, we are unable to replicate the issue at our end with the release v13 version of Spread JS as we protect the sheet.

    Please find the attached sample for reference.

    Really, using .Locked doesn’t work in my case, I will send the code if necessary, but just a question: I am cancelling the edition in EditStarting event, with code below. It works fine (i.e., it cancels edition for rows with isReadOnly = true. But that doesn’t work for checkboxes columns, is there a way to cancel click event or something like that to avoid changing the checkbox state?

    _this.sheet.bind(GC.Spread.Sheets.Events.EditStarting, function (sender, args) {

    let item = _this.sheet.getDataItem(args.row);

    args.cancel = item.isReadOnly || _this.columnsInfo[args.col].name == “psStatus”;

    });

    Hi Fernando,

    Could you please let us know what is the exact issue you are facing with locking cells? It is working fine at our end, please refer to the previously shared sample.

    Also, could you please share a small sample replicating the issue so that we could further investigate it

    Regards

    It looks like after applying locked to the cell, if I change that using getRange(…).locked doesn’t override the previously set value, I changed that and it is working fine, thanks!
