Cell is not activated on click of Hyperlink Column in RadGridView

[Allan Hill]

We are having Rad Grid View control with "GridViewHyperlinkColumn" column.
When we click on hyperlink available in grid view cell, either cell is not activated or row is not selected.

We have set following properties for rad grid view control

IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
SelectionMode="Single"

Can anyone help or provide solution?

Hello Allan Hill,

This type of column will handle all mouse events which will prevent those events from reaching the rows and ultimately invoking our selection mechanism. You could try the following workaround to manually select a row when a hyperlink is clicked:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.AddHandler(Hyperlink.ClickEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(hyperlinkClicked));
}

void hyperlinkClicked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)
{
    Hyperlink hyperLink = args.OriginalSource as Hyperlink;
    HyperlinkButton button = hyperLink.Parent as HyperlinkButton;

    var row = button.ParentOfType<GridViewRow>();
    row.IsSelected = true;
}

Best wishes,
