Solution 1

Maybe you can try something like this:

private void dataGridView1_CellBeginEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.ColumnIndex < 2) 
   { 
      e.Cancel = true;
   }
}

If that does not work try this: Difficulty setting readonly cells in DataGridView[^]

Solved using the code below:
for (int j = 0; j < row.Cells.Count; j++) {
if (j < 2 || !IsEditableField(row.Cells[0].Value.ToString())) {
row.Cells[j].ReadOnly = true;
row.Cells[j].ToolTipText = "Not Editable";
} else
row.Cells[j].ReadOnly = false;
}
Thanks for your feedback.
