Locked columns - Get selected rows

[pixi]

Hi,

I have a selectable grid which has one locked column.
When using select() method to get selected rows, I get duplicated results.

If I select one row the result will contain two jQuery objects, beside the row there will also be separate jQuery object containing just the selected locked column.

Check this example: http://dojo.telerik.com/EyEMO

Is this how it should work or is this a bug?
In my case I would like to get the same results as I would get without locked column.

Hi Jure,

The behavior that you are describing is expected when you have locked columns, because there will be two separate TABLE elements for the data items and each data item will have two TR elements corresponding to it. The select method in such scenario will return the TR elements from the left table first and then you will get the TR elements for the right table.

Depending on your exact requirement, you could use the half of the items in the returned by the select method collection or with some simple logic, manipulate both TR elements for each selected item.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I have exactly the same issue, and I don't think that "The behavior that you are describing is expected"...

I am in the "change" event of the grid, and I want to know which row is selected.  Locked or not, there is only 1 row selected (related to 1 and only 1 dataitem).

Locked or not, grouped or not, the "action" I did is selecting 1 row.  
And, in fact, the "change" event is raised only 1 time, not 2.  Because I select "1" row.

When I follow the sample code for the change event, I get two items in the "selectedDataItems", and they are the same.

I know that I can detect if they are the same, and "not add" them. But I think that doesn't make sense.

Hi Dani,

The reason behind this behavior is the fact that each row will be rendered with two TR elements in two different tables. When an item is selected, the TR element receives a "k-state-selected" class name, which is then used for retrieving the selected items with the select method. That is why all TR elements from both tables are returned and it will be up to the developer to handle that scenario.

On a side note, returning both TR elements for each item allows the developer to perform custom logic over the entire item and not only to part of it.
