Asp.net 2.0 - Making checkbox read only.

Tags: checkbox, box, check, read
Okay, I thought this would be simple and it probably is but I can't figure it out.

I've got a column in my database called "taxable" that is a tinyint.  In the Gridview I've got the corresponding column converted to a template.  I put a checkbox inside that template and bound it to the column Taxable.  It's working as far as checking the box if the value in the Database is 1, or not checking it if the database value is 0.

What I'm getting stuck on, is the checkbox is able to be checked/unchecked when the gridview is in read-mode.  I want it to be greyed out (but displayed) until you go into edit mode.

I can't add the checkboxfield to the gridview for some reason, when you highlight it inside the gridview panel, the add button greys out.  I tried manually coding it in, and it errored saying it couldn't "taxable" as string to a boolean value.  (Odd, considering it works, just that it wont' go read only)

I appreciate any help you guys can give, as always.
