How can I disable editing cells in a WPF Datagrid

Question

I m constructing a datagrid in Windows Presentation Foundation  and I have a problem  When a user double-clicks on a cell in my datagrid  the cell goes into edit mode  I want to prevent that  Instead I want users to be able to select the full row - not edit values in it    How can I make it so that double-clicks select the full row instead of putting the clicked-on cell in edit mode

The WPF DataGrid has an IsReadOnly property that you can set to True to ensure that users cannot edit your DataGrid s cells   You can also set this value for individual columns in your DataGrid as needed

I see users in comments wondering how to disable cell editing while allowing row deletion   I managed to do this by setting all columns individually to read only  instead of the DataGrid itself    lt DataGrid IsReadOnly  False  gt       lt DataGrid Columns gt           lt DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly  True   gt           lt DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly  True   gt       lt  DataGrid Columns gt   lt  DataGrid gt

If you want to disable editing the entire grid  you can set IsReadOnly to true on the grid  If you want to disable user to add new rows  you set the property CanUserAddRows  False    lt DataGrid IsReadOnly  True  CanUserAddRows  False    gt    Further more you can set IsReadOnly on individual columns to disable editing
