CheckBox column check uncheck

[james]

Is there a way to use the checkbox column on the client side without putting the radtreelist in edit mode? I want the behavior of the select column but without allowing whole row selection.

Hello,

I am not sure if I understand what exactly you are trying to achieve. Could you please elaborate a bit more?
Are you using TreeListSelectColumn as shown in this demo:

Really what I want to do is keep the select column selection independent from row selection. In other words, I want to be able to select rows using the Selection col and keep the selection regardless of mouse click on another row. Currently in my implementation, after selecting multiple rows using the checkbox in the selection col if I left mouse click all the selections are lost. Right mouse click in  a different row adds the row to the selected rows but it also displays the popup context menu. The behavior I'm looking for is for these two functions to be independent. I want to be able to select/deselect multiple rows using the selection col only and the selections not be altered by any other actions.

Hi,

Did you try setting UseSelectColumnOnly property to true inside treelist client settings as shown below?

<ClientSettings Selecting-UseSelectColumnOnly="true"></ClientSettings>

That solves the problem of the left mouse click deselecting but it's still not independent of the of the mouse selection. I may just use a button col for selecting(inclusion) to keep it independent of row selection for context menu or other action.
