  Hi,

  There used to be a similar question being asked at:
  
  http://wijmo.com/topic/custom-column-editable-and-dropdown-cells/

  However the answer is not complete.

  What I want to achieve is to allow users to edit the last row whatsoever, regardless of whether that column is readonly or not. I know how to make a particular cell readonly in an editable column (column.IsReadOnly == false), but not the other way.

  Hello Ross,
  
  If a column/ row’s isReadOnly property is set to true, the whole column/row’s cell cannot be edited. This is by design and as intended.
  
  The only way to make a particular Cell editable is to the handle beginningEdit event and set the corresponding column/row’s isReadOnly property to false.
  
  Here, you need to cancel the event to make cell read only according to your condition.

  For your reference, please see the attached sample that makes last row editable.

  Thanks,

  Thanks a lot, Manish. It’s interesting that column level IsReadOnly takes precedence over the cell. But I am happy with your solution.
