[Solved] Checkbox Select

[Scott Rakestraw]

I would like for my grid to have the first column be a checkbox column and all other columns to be read only.  After the user checks the records they want they would then click a button to set all of the checked ones to allow edit.  My checkbox column looks like this.

                        <telerik:GridViewColumn HeaderText="Check">
                            <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellStyle>
                                <Style TargetType="telerikGridView:GridViewCell">
                                    <Setter Property="Template">
                                        <Setter.Value>
                                            <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerikGridView:GridViewCell">
                                                <Border Padding="5,0,5,0" BorderThickness="0,0,1,1" BorderBrush="#FFB3B3B3">
                                                    <CheckBox HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Checked="CheckBox_Checked" />
                                                </Border>
                                            </ControlTemplate>
                                        </Setter.Value>
                                    </Setter>
                                </Style>
                            </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellStyle>
                        </telerik:GridViewColumn>

I'm not sure if I need to have a field in my datasource that stores the checked state and if so how to bind this to it.  In my checked event handler I don't know how to get a reference back to the record.

I have seem some examples that use the ParentOfType extension but that does not even show up for me.  I am using the latest internal build and am not sure what I need to do to enable that.

Hi Scott,

Generally ParentOfType<> and ChildrenOfType<> are extension methods in Telerik.Windows.Controls namespace however you can access directly your data item using DataContext property of the CheckBox (you need to cast sender argument of the event handler to CheckBox).

All the best,
