Multiple Selection: Single Selection Per Group

[fernando.miranda.a400]

Hi,

 

Is there a way that I can configure the selection for the TileList, so that, the user can select multiple tiles but only one tile per group?

Like the behavior of a RadioButton, for example?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello Fernando,

Selecting one item per group is not supported out of the box by the RadTileList control. You could try to achieve this behavior using custom code. I have searched for a possible solution and I think I manage to found one. I have created a sample project and attached it to this reply. In a few words, I have subscribed to the SelectionChanged of the control and I am checking the currently selected item. If there is already selected item for this group I am removing it from the SelectedItems collection. Keep in mind that, adding/removing items from the SelectedItems collection will trigger the SelectionChanged event again.

Hi Dinko, 

Thank you for your sample, it works as expected and it fits our needs.

I wanna leave the suggestion of introducing such feature without the need of a workaround, it just seemed like something obvious to us and we didn't even try to come up with a workaround in the first place because we thought we were just missing something and decided to check first.

 

Best regards.
