Is there a way to assign an ID to a selectable column? Using Test Studio, it is a real challenge without writing code, to identify which columns was clicked as when you have multiple rows, they all have no ID (or any other way to identify them). Having an ID would fix that and if these columns would actually allow a template - which it seems they do not - we could do other nice things, icluding IDs

Hi Matt,

In general, the selectable column is not a bound column and it is not supported to handle and store data of any kind. Also, in the context of its functionality having the ID attribute set is not needed. However, an ID can be assigned after the initialization of the grid - in the DataBound event handler. Here is an example:

https://dojo.telerik.com/oVOzEPUJ

An alternative is to handle the Change event of the grid. It is triggered after the selection of the row. Or, you can create a template column that will programmatically select/deselect the rows.

I am not completely sure what are the limitations you are facing with the code. Can you elaborate more on the same so that I can think of a suggestion accordingly?

 

Kind regards,
