We need to dynamically change the selectability of the rows in the grid.  When a dropdown outside the grid has a certain value, the selectability of the grid is "row" for single-selection.  For the other value, the selectability is "multiple, row".

How do I change the selectability dynamically?  

grid.selectability( (selectedFilter().multiselect == true ? "multiple, row", "row"));
fails with an error saying it is not a function

grid.selectability = (selectedFilter().multiselect == true ? "multiple, row", "row");
has no effect.

Thanks,

Hi Rod,


Currently this functionality is not supported. If you consider that run-time changing of the selection type is a feature that should be implemented in the Grid, you could post it in the Kendo UI Feedback portal. If it becomes popular among the community, we may consider to implement it in future versions of the Grid.

Has there been any change regarding the toggling of the selectable option? This would be helpful, since my current project is dealing with lots of columns, and there are significant performance issues in IE with the selectable option turned on.

Well, is there a way to programmatically change the selectable nature of the grid? Or does it have to be set at initialization?

Hello Jeff,

Any Grid option could be changed through the setOptions method:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-setOptions

which will recreate the widget with the new options.
