Render column read only after save in advanced table.

Question

I have advanced table in my region. Right now, I have col1 & col2 both messageinputtext and adding new row works,
This is what I want to do :
When page loads, render col1 read only, (right now it pulls in data, with col1 as text field, I dont want the user to change data in col1, once he has saved it)
When user presses addRow button in table footer, it adds a row with col1 as input field, but when user is done inputting and clicks 'apply changes' button , col1 in all the rows become read only.
how can I do it programatically ?
thanks

Now You have to capture the logic of AddRow button. Say you are handling its logic in AMImpl.
PFR of Controller:-->
processFormRequest
if ((table.Bean.getName().equals(source)) && (ADD_ROWS_EVENT.equals(event)))
// invoke method on view instance that will add 5 rows
In AMimpl:-
if (vo.getFetchedRowCount() == 0)
// We want to initialize the VO with the call to setMaxFetchSize()
// only before we add the first row. If we add subsequent rows,
// we don't want to call this again, which is way it's enclosed
// in the IF check.
vo.setMaxFetchSize(0);
// Perform insert
Row row = vo.createRow();
vo.insertRow(row);
// If this view object is transactional, you must also comply with
// Model Coding Standard M69 by setting the new row state to
// STATUS_INITIALIZED. Note that there is no harm in including
// this line of code in non-transactional view objects if you
// find it easier to follow a single coding pattern for all your
// view objects.
row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
vo.reset();
vo.next();
Here try to do like this
OARow row = (OARow)vo.getCurrentRow;
OAViewObject pVO = (OAViewObject)findViewObject("macsfaqPVO1");
OARow poRow = (OARow)pVO.getCurrentRow();
poRow.setAttribute("QuestionColFlag", Boolean.FALSE);
