[Solved] Preventing Selection

[david ocasio]

Is there a way to prevent a row or cell for that matter from being selected.
effectivly turning off selection for the entire grid.

I was hoping for a IsSelectionAllowed property but i dont see one.
I have tried clearing the selection (.SelectedItems.Clear() )  on the selectionChanged event
but that caused observable collection errors.
--> Cannot change ObservableCollection during a CollectionChanged or PropertyChanged event

thanks

Hi david ocasio,

For the time being the selection logic cannot be turned of but you can indeed clear the selection when a row is selected.

public Page()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.RadGridView1.ItemsSource = GetMessages();
    this.RadGridView1.SelectionChanged += new EventHandler<SelectionChangeEventArgs>(RadGridView1_SelectionChanged);
}

private bool changingSelection = false;

void RadGridView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.SelectionChangeEventArgs e)
{
    if (changingSelection)
        return;

    changingSelection = true;
    this.RadGridView1.SelectedItems.Clear();
    changingSelection = false;
}

Hope this helps.

Sincerely yours,
