   Hello @bartlomiejduda Doing something like this would help serve your purpose: TableCanvas(self.tframe,read_only=True)

   The above functionality helps make your table read-only!

   Hey, @hannansatopay Thanks for answer. I know read-only option, I have tested it earlier, but in my particular case I needed to disable only adding and deleting rows to prevent breaking some functionality by user. :)

   Hello, It's possible but you have to make a few changes

   1. On your ide navigate to class TableCanvas(Canvas):

   2. With crtl + f look for something like rename column it doesn't really matter the important thing is that you find the popup. You can also look for def popupMenu(self, event): and you will find what we are looking for just below. Note that we have two def popupMenu( , so changes are slightly different.

   3. You just have to comment on what you don't need.

   4. Example

   On def popupMenu(self, event, rows=None, cols=None, outside=None): you have to change:

                       defaultactions = {
                       # "Set Fill Color" : lambda : self.setcellColor(rows,cols,key='bg'),
                       # "Set Text Color" : lambda : self.setcellColor(rows,cols,key='fg'),
                       "Copiar" : lambda : self.copyCell(rows, cols),
                       "Pegar" : lambda : self.pasteCell(rows, cols),
                       "Fill Down" : lambda : self.fillDown(rows, cols),
                       "Fill Right" : lambda : self.fillAcross(cols, rows),
                       # "Add Row(s)" : lambda : self.addRows(),   THIS LINE                   
                       # "Delete Row(s)" : lambda : self.deleteRow(), THIS LINE
   

   But you also need to change this list below:
   general = [...

   5. If you get any errors after doing this it's because some change is missing. In def popupMenu(self, event): changes are slightly different as I said before.

   To sum up you just have comment and change values like the ones in general = [... for example.

   Hello. Yeah, I was able to do it as I described in my first post by changing "general" list:

   I have tried to disable adding rows and deleting rows for my table and I had to do it manually by changing line in Tables.py
   from
   general = ["Select All", "Add Row(s)" , "Delete Row(s)", "Auto Fit Columns", "Filter Records", "Preferences"]
   to general = ["Select All", "Auto Fit Columns", "Filter Records", "Preferences"]

   It is only a feature request for developers to make it by parameters:

   It would be good solution to have such parameter for every right-click option. :)

   For me It would be safer to make such changes in my code rather than tkintertable code. :)

   Yes I think since you know how to do it it's better to allow developers to sub-class the table and add this themselves. I generally am not adding new features to this package now, only bug fixes.
