Prevent deselection of certain rows

[JP]

Hi,

 

I want to disable some selected rows (I use a GridClientSelectColumn) in my grid. The user must not be allowed to deselect these rows, but he is free to select

other rows. The originally selected rows have to stay selected.

Disabling the row is no problem, I do this server-side in the RowBound event handler. But these can still be (de)selected.

Is there some easy way to "lock" the selected rows or do I have to program this behavior in javascript?

If I have to do that, how can I prevent a row from being deselected (e.g. if the user just clicks another row which will deselect all other rows)?

 

Thanks!

Hello,

Generally, you can use the SelectableMode of the item to disable its selecting/deselecting logic altogether:

However, it seems that you want to keep the selecting logic. You can try to implement the suggestion provided in the following post to prevent deselecting rows on row click:

Hope this helps. If you have different requirements or further instructions, please elaborate on your specific scenario and send us sample screenshots or videos demonstrating the desired behavior.
