[Solved] GridCheckBoxColumn - Check All

[Benjamin Millspaugh]

I have a GridCheckBoxColumn and I would like to add a "Check All" option to the page which would check all of the check boxes in a specific column.  I would prefer add a button to the CommandItemTemplate and use the client-side API so that the user can use the feature to check all of the check boxes and then uncheck a few before submitting the page.

I have not been able to find any code like this in the forums or the demos & documentation so I am posting a new thread, but it seems like it must be a common request so please direct me to another thread if it has already been documented.  Thanks!

Hi Benjamin,

You can get the requested functionality built-in in RadGrid through the GridClientSelectColumn:

(see the second Grid).

I hope it fulfills your requirements.

Thank you for the quick reply, but it unfortunately does not solve my problem.  I am not trying to select multiple rows as shown in the example you provided, I am trying to check multiple check boxes which set a boolean variable in the table while editing multiple rows (i.e. I have enabled AllowMultiRowEdit).  You should be able to see what I am trying to do by looking at the image below (click on the thumbnail to enlarge).  The "[] Verify All" checkbox in the CommandItemTemplate could also be a "[Check All]" button or hyperlink if it is easier.



Thanks again for your help!
