**SetColumnEditType(**//ColumnNumber//**,<;**//EditClass//**>)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SetColumnEditType** | Change EditClass used for a column. |
| //ColumnNumber// | An integer constant or variable that contains the column number to process. |
| //EditClass// | The label of the EditClass. If omitted, the specified //columnnumber// is disabled for EIP operations. |

**SetColumnEditType** allows you to change the EditClass used for a column at runtime. If the EditClass parameter is omitted, then that column will be disabled on EIP actions.

**Implementation:**

**SetColumnEditType **should be called prior to the [[askrecord  edit in place selected browse item .htm|BrowseClass AskRecord]] parent call.

**Example:**

**BRW1.AskRecord PROCEDURE(BYTE Request)**

**ReturnValue          BYTE,AUTO**

**  CODE**

**  IF GLO:AccessLevel <; Level:Supervisor !If not a supervisor**

**   self.eip.SetColumnEditType(1)        !Disable edit of 1st column**

**  ELSE**

**   !for docs only (not really needed here):**

**   self.eip.SetColumnEditType(1,EditInPlace::PUB:PubID) **

**  END**

**  ReturnValue = PARENT.AskRecord(Request)**

**  RETURN ReturnValue**
