Hi everyone,
I meet a trouble that I can't multiselect all cells by mouse drag when we create a big table.

My version is 2014.1.402.20, I use radgridview.
e.g.
1. I create 10 by 10 cells table and gridview is a small one, it will show horizon scroll bar and vertical scroll bar.
2. I want to select all cells by mouse drag but not CTRL+Click.
3. I can't select all of them.

Please review my attachment. Thanks.

Hello ervery,
My code:
this.radGridView1.SelectionMode = GridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect;
this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.MultiSelect = true;
this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.SelectionMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect;

Hello Tony,

Thank you for writing back.

I confirm that when you select a cell and drag the selection first horizontally and then vertically, there are missing selected cells. This case can be handled with the RadGridView.MouseUp event. Here is a sample implementation which should be used together with the already applied workaround:
private void radGridView1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    int startColumn = this.radGridView1.Columns.Last().Index;
    int endColumn = 0;
    int startRow = this.radGridView1.Rows.Last().Index;
    int endRow = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < this.radGridView1.SelectedCells.Count; i++)
    {
        if (this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].ColumnInfo.Index < startColumn)
        {
            startColumn = this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].ColumnInfo.Index;
        }
        else if (this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].ColumnInfo.Index > endColumn)
        {
            endColumn = this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].ColumnInfo.Index;
        }
 
        if (this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index < startRow &&
            this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index > -1)
        {
            startRow = this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index;
        }
        else if (this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index > endRow)
        {
            endRow = this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index;
        }
    }
 
    int scrollBarValue = this.radGridView1.TableElement.VScrollBar.Value;
    this.radGridView1.BeginUpdate();
    for (int i = startRow; i < endRow + 1; i++)
    {
        for (int j = startColumn; j < endColumn + 1; j++)
        {
            if (!this.radGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].IsSelected)
            {
                this.radGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].IsSelected = true;
            }
        }
    }
    this.radGridView1.EndUpdate();
    this.radGridView1.TableElement.VScrollBar.Value = scrollBarValue;
}

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

Thanks for your reply.
I have another question.
I can't smooth scroll bar to the end after I use your code.
The position of scroll bar will change to start position automatically.
Shall we support 2 selection mode?
1. press ctrl + mouse click to select any cells.
2. drag mouse to select cells what we want.

Thanks.

Hello Tony,

Thank you for writing back.

It seems that the smooth scrolling is not affected on my end with the specified version 2014.1.402.40. Please refer to the attached gif file illustrating the behavior on my end after implementing the suggested solution.  

However, the horizontal scroll-bar is indeed reset to its left most position which can be avoided with manually storing the horizontal scroll-bar value:
private void radGridView1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    int startColumn = this.radGridView1.Columns.Last().Index;
    int endColumn = 0;
    int startRow = this.radGridView1.Rows.Last().Index;
    int endRow = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < this.radGridView1.SelectedCells.Count; i++)
    {
        if (this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].ColumnInfo.Index < startColumn)
        {
            startColumn = this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].ColumnInfo.Index;
        }
        else if (this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].ColumnInfo.Index > endColumn)
        {
            endColumn = this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].ColumnInfo.Index;
        }
 
        if (this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index < startRow &&
            this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index > -1)
        {
            startRow = this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index;
        }
        else if (this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index > endRow)
        {
            endRow = this.radGridView1.SelectedCells[i].RowInfo.Index;
        }
    }
 
    int vScrollBarValue = this.radGridView1.TableElement.VScrollBar.Value;
    int hScrollBarValue = this.radGridView1.TableElement.HScrollBar.Value;
    this.radGridView1.BeginUpdate();
    for (int i = startRow; i < endRow + 1; i++)
    {
        for (int j = startColumn; j < endColumn + 1; j++)
        {
            if (!this.radGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].IsSelected)
            {
                this.radGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].IsSelected = true;
            }
        }
    }
    this.radGridView1.EndUpdate();
    this.radGridView1.TableElement.VScrollBar.Value = vScrollBarValue;
    this.radGridView1.TableElement.HScrollBar.Value = hScrollBarValue;
}

As to the question about selecting cells by using the Ctrl key and cell selection, you should modify a little bit the MouseUp event handler in order not to perform the range selection in this case:
private void radGridView1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if(ModifierKeys == Keys.Control)
    {
        return;
    }
 
//...
 
}

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
