[Solved] Display bool in Grid as a selectable Checkbox

[Matthew]

I've only been working with Telerik controls for a few days now and so far I'm liking the results I'm getting. At this moment, I have a model (class) with a bunch of Strings as members. I also have a member called "Select" which is a Boolean (by default set to False). I would like this Bool to be represented as a "Checkbox" in the Grid control.

This way, the user can check as many boxes as they wish, then click a Submit button below the grid. The form would then return a list of all the lines that the user selected to a new controller.

I got this far:

Html.Telerik().Grid(Model).Name("Query")  
    .Columns(c => {           
       c.Bound(o => o.Select).Width(50).ReadOnly(false).Filterable(false)

But wasn't sure how to get the Bool in my model to be represented as a selectable check box?

Hi,

Here is a demo, which does pretty much the same:

That was it! Thanks.  :)

Okay, next question:

How do I put a checkbox in the header (at the top of the checkbox column) to perform a "Select All" or "De-select All" type function?
