option to check a single row in gridview

[rajesh]

We have a requirement to check a single row in the radgridview.
What should be the approach for this requirement using RadGridView, we need to use a checkbox column or is there any radio button column.
Please help me regarding the above.

Hi rajesh,

Thank you for writing.

If you want to mark some rows in RadGridView you could use unbound GridViewCheckBoxColumn. Please review the following sample code how to insert a check box column:

GridViewCheckBoxColumn checkColumn = new GridViewCheckBoxColumn();
checkColumn.UniqueName = "Select";
checkColumn.HeaderText = "Select";
this.radGridView1.Columns.Insert(0, checkColumn);

 
Do not hesitate to contact me again if you have other questions.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the response.
Can we make the checkbox column of radgridview to accept only one row to be checked at a time and uncheck the previously checked row on checking a new row?
some way to mimic the radio button functionality of any one selected at any time.
This is the requirement. Can you please help me at the earliest. 

Thanks & regards
Rajesh

Hello rajesh,

Thank you for getting back to me.

You can use the grid's ValueChanging event to implement described behavior. Please, review the code-block below:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    GridViewCheckBoxColumn col = new GridViewCheckBoxColumn();
    col.HeaderText = "Select";
    this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Insert(0, col);

    this.radGridView1.ValueChanging += new ValueChangingEventHandler(radGridView1_ValueChanging);
}

void radGridView1_ValueChanging(object sender, ValueChangingEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 0 && (bool)e.NewValue == true)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.Rows.Count; i++)
        {
            this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value = false;
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps. Do not hesitate to contact me again if you need additional assistance.

Hi Martin,
             Its very much helpful. Thanks a lot for the response.
             Is there a way to use a radiobutton column in radgridview for winforms. Which I was not able to find.
             Please let me know as the requirement was to use a telerik radgridview and to use a radio button column in it.
             Help me if I could be able to do the same.
             You are really helpful.

thanks & regards,

Hello rajesh,

Thank you for the question.

RadGridView does not support a RadioButton column out-of-the-box. Nevertheless, you could try implementing this scenario by adding a RadRadioButtonElement to the CustomCellElement or CellFormatting event. You can find more guidance on how to do that in the following help and KB articles.

Write me back if you have other questions.

Hello!
Does anyone know how to allow  check only a single row not in code behind, because I use MVVM model?

[Martin Vasilev]

Hello Igor,

Thank you for writing.

RadGridView for Winforms does not support checking only a single row by default hence there is not a way to implement this feature without additional code.

If your question is not related to Winforms, please open a new thread in the appropriate section.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

All the best,
