Grid Drag and Select problem.

[Het]

Telerik Support,

I have grid with 1 GridTemplateColumn. In that column I define a HeaderTemplate and an ItemTemplate. In ItemTemplate I have 2 tables. 1st table has 2 columns and 2nd table has few columns. I don't want to use the Groupexpression nor Hierarchy grid for the kind of display I want. Now the problem I have is when I do drag and select, I cannot start from anywhere in between, I have to start from the left most edge of the grid and leave the mouse at the right most edge of the grid. I am pasting the code snippet below. Is there a way to overcome this problem ?

I am binding the grid at runtime in code behind and also using the _ItemDataBound.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Het, I suppose that the elements which are draggable/selectable are the RadGrid's column cells/rows and when you inject other control inside it will not trigger those actions. That is why when you have table wrapped inside template column you are able to select/drag where the table area ends.

For more flexible layout (if that will help you more) try the global item template feature:
