Batch Editing and checkbox enabled by default

[Gurpreet]

Hi

I'm trying to use the Batch Update functionality and I have 1 column with checkboxes. I can save the data to the database but when I have to select a checkbox, first I have to click on the cell to enable it and then I can check the checkbox.

Is there a way by which I can have the checkbox cell enabled by default and I dont have to do an extra click to select the checkbox.

Its the same for other cells for editing like having a datepicker control or a dropdown control. For all the editing purposes, there is an extra click to select that cell.

I want to avoid that. Is it possible in Telerik MVC Grid Batch update or not ? if yes, what is the solution for it.

Thanks
Gurpreet

Hi Gurpreet,

 No, this is not possible. You first need to click a cell to enter edit mode.

Hello Telerik team

I am currently using Telerik's MVC grid batch editing functionality and have found a glitch when entering edit mode within a cell which contains a checkbox.

I noticed that when the user clicks directly on the checkbox, an error appears in the jquery-1.6.4.min.js file with the following message:

'a is null'
'(function(a,b){function cu(a){return f.isWindow(a)?a:a.nodeType===9?......'

However, when the user clicks anywhere within the cell that contains the checkbox and not directly clicking on the input element, the error does not appear.

I was wondering if this is going to be fixed in the future releases.  I noticed in your demo that the "Discontinued" column is disabled by default until the user clicks on the cell in order to change the state - I am assuming this prevents the error from occurring.

Is this something the team is currently looking at?

Thanks for your time
Jo
