How to enable multiple row selection programmatically

[Rui]

Hi. I have this grid
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Something>
          ()
          .Name("Something")
          .Selectable(builder => builder.Type(GridSelectionType.Row).Mode(GridSelectionMode.Multiple).Enabled(false) )
          .ClientRowTemplate(Html.Partial("Partials/Something").ToHtmlString())
          .TableHtmlAttributes(new { @class = "table table-stripped" })
          .Scrollable(scrollable => scrollable.Height(100).Enabled(true))
          .Columns(columns =>
          {
              columns.Bound(h => h.Something).Title("Partner type").Width(120);
              columns.Bound(h => h.Something).Title("Date").Width(120);
              columns.Bound(h => h.Something).Title("Name");
          }))

that has multiple row selection disabled.

This grid is populated when I select another grid. After that, I want to have multiple row selection enabled. I did set the grid.options.selectable to true, but it doesn't work.

How can I solve this?

Hello Rui,

Achieving the desired behavior will require using the setOptions method of the Grid.

• http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-setOptions

Select the grid via jQuery and invoke the setOptions. For example, the code might look like:

var grid = $("#myGridID").data("kendoGrid");

grid.setOptions({
  selectable: "multiple, row"
})

For a runnable example, check this Dojo: http://dojo.telerik.com/IMATa

That's exactly it. Thank you.
