How to make WPF DataGridCell ReadOnly?

Question

I understand you can make the whole DataGrid or a whole column readyonly (IsReadOnly = true). However, at cell level this property is ready only. But I do need this level of granularity. There is blog about adding IsReadOnly to a row by changing the source code in old days when DataGrid was public domain, but now I don't have source code for DataGrid. What's workaround?

Making cell disabled (IsEnabled=false) almost meets my need. But the problem is that you can't even click the disabled cell to select the row (I have full row selection mode).

EDIT: Since nobody has responded to this question, so I guess it's not an easy fix. Here is a possible workaround: Make the cell uneditable. The only problem is that clicking the cell doesn't select the row. I just noticed that MouseDown or MouseUp event of the DataGrid is still fired when the disabled cell is clicked. In this event handler, if I could figure out the row it clicked, I could select the row programmatically. However, I couldn't figure out how to find the underlying row from DataGrid.InputHitTest. Can somebody please give me some tip?

After much searching and experimentation using IsTabStop = False and Focusable = False works best for me.

<DataGridTextColumn Header="My Column" Binding="{Binding Path=MyColumnValue}">
    <DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
        <Style TargetType="DataGridCell">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=ReadOnly}" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"></Setter>
                    <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="False"></Setter>
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
</DataGridTextColumn>
