[Solved] Adding checkboxes to file list

[Chanan Zass]

Greetings,

Is there a way to add checkboxes to the file list in each explored folder?
We thought about using the RadFileExplorer also for selecting files that should be included in a corporate gallery.
Having checkboxes would help.

Any ideas?

Oops.
Just been enlightened by Tervel from the Telerik Team that you can select a group of files by pressing the Ctrl key.
Should've read the manual...

Hi Chanan,

The check box functionality already exist and you should just use the server side API of the RadTreeView control, that is implemented into RadFileExplorer as showed bellow :

1. Allow check boxes :
   

   RadFileExplorer1.TreeView.CheckBoxes = true;
   RadFileExplorer1.TreeView.CheckChildNodes = true;

2. Then you could get the checked nodes as showed bellow :
   
   

   List<RadTreeNode> checkedNodes = RadFileExplorer1.TreeView.CheckedNodes.ToList();

More details on the subject can be found on this help page.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Fiko

Thanks.
My original question referred to the Grid control in FileExplorer (rather than the TreeView).

But my question was out of place, as I've learned (with the help of Tervel) that you can simply select items in the Grid and than process the collection as you see fit.
