check GridViewCheckBoxColumn with one click

[Matthias]

Hi all,

I'm trying to do a quite simple thing: I simply want to check or uncheck checkboxes in a Gridview with one click.
At the moment I need 3 clicks to do this. (I think one to select the row, one to switch the cell to edit mode and finally one to check or uncheck)

Is it possible to reduce this to just one click?

Regards,
Matthias

You may take a look at the following online help article "Number of clicks in the CheckBox column".

Hi,

the one-click-solution with EditTriggers="CellClick" and AutoSelectOnEdit="True" didn't work for me. I still have to click two times. But the other solution with a Checkbox in a GridViewDataColumn did exactly what I want.

Thanks!

Hi Vanya,

I am using GridViewCheckBoxColumn in RadGridView. I wanna System.Windows.Controls checkbox in GridViewCheckBoxColumn and surely this happening when I make style of GridViewCheckBox and set key of Standard Silverlight checkbox on GridViewcheckboxColumn as Style="{StaticResource CheckBoxStyle}".
But somewhere I am not using GridViewCheckBoxColumn or not GridViewDataColumn. Using bool property in c# for the IsEmployee column. There should be silverlight Standard CheckBox instead of GridViewCheckBox exactly what I want. For that Which style I am missing or what should I have to do?

Thanks,

Hello Chandra,

You may style the standard CheckBox control direclty through using the Telerik's StyleManager:

<CheckBox telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Office_Black" ...../>

If your columns are auto-generated, you may subscribe to the RadGridView's AutoGenerating event in order to access these columns. From there just set the appropriate CellTemplate with the desired CheckBox and its corresponding appearance.

Hi Vanya,

Thanks for your quick reply. In my case columns are generated from code and columns definition also comes on run time. So I can't set Cell Template. In this case when property with bool comes it takes column with checkbox, For this check box I want to apply Standard silverlight checkbox style instead of GridViewCheckBoxColumn Style. How can I overrite it??

Hi Chandra Prakash,

 

The logic behind GridViewCheckBoxColumn/GridViewDataColumn is internally handled and there is no easy way to change this behavior. The easiest way to handle this is through defining CellTemplate with the appropriate CheckBox control.
