GridViewSelectColumn is always selected by default

[Jan]

Hi,

I'm using a GridViewSelectColumn on my RadGridView which is always selected for the first record. This is normally fine when the SelectionMode is Single because the user would correct the selection. But in cases where the SelectionMode is Multiple the first record is often included in the selection by mistake. Especially in cases where there is grouping involved and only the group header is visible. User are then not aware that there is already an initial selection made.

Is there anyway to prevent the default selection of the first record?

Thanks,
JJ

Hello JJ,

The first (current) item will be selected when the SelectedItem is synchronized with the CurrentItem. That is why you should set the IsSynchronizedWithCurrectItem property of the GridView to False, in order to prevent the default selection of the first record.

Great, thank you. Works like a charm.
