[Solved] Is it possible to set a GridViewCheckBoxColumn to behave like a GridViewSelectColumn?

[Ernstjan]

Hi,

Currently I'm strugling a bit with a RadGridView that contains a lot of CheckBox columns, right now the user has to click at least two times to check a checkbox. I'd like to have a behavior like the GridViewSelectColumn (that means, one click is a check).

Anyone can help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Ernstjan,

You may try to set the IsReadOnly property of the column to "True".

Hello Maya,

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried to set the checkboxcolumns to IsReadOnly="True", but now I cannot check the checkbox anymore.
Am I missing something?

Hi Ernstjan,

Please excuse me for the misunderstanding. If you want to use the GridViewCheckBoxColumn, you may define its properties EditTriggers to "CellClick" and AutoSelectOnEdit to "True":

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding IsPlaying,Mode=TwoWay}"
                                              EditTriggers="CellClick"                                                                                                                                            AutoSelectOnEdit="True"/>

In this case you will need a click for putting the cell into edit mode and a second one for checking the CheckBox. 
Another possible approach would be to use a GridViewDataColumn and define its CellTemplate as a CheckBox. In this way, however, will will bypass the built-in validation and you will need to handle it on your own:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

  <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

       <DataTemplate>

             <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsPlaying,Mode=TwoWay}" />

        </DataTemplate>

  </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

I used the CellTemplate approach and it does exactly what I want :)

Thanks a lot!
