RadGrid Multiple Rows-Selecting [SHIFT] event

[Daniel]

Hello,

I am working on a project with a RadGrid.

The user can select rows. However, there is a limit to the number of rows the user can select.
If the user selects more than the limit, a message pops-up telling the user about the limit. Then, all the rows surpassing the limit are unselected.

I have implement the JS function OnRowSelecting.

function Row_Selecting(sender, args) {
    var grid = $find("<%=MyGrid2.ClientID%>");
    var masterTable = grid.get_masterTableView();
    if (masterTable.get_selectedItems().length >= MAX_NUMBER) {
        alert("you reach the maximum number);
        args.set_cancel(true);
    }
}

I have a problem when the user selects multiple rows with SHIFT, the above message shows on each row, surpassing the limit.

How can I catch the SHIFT-SELECT event, so I can pop-up the message only once, and not for each row?

Thank you,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

You can achieve the requested functionality using the following approach:

<ClientSettings>
    <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" EnableDragToSelectRows="false" />
    <ClientEvents OnRowSelecting="rowSelecting" OnRowClick="rowClick" />
</ClientSettings>

JavaScript:

var alerted = false;
function rowClick(sender, args) {
    alerted = false;
}
function rowSelecting(sender, args) {
    var count = args.get_tableView().get_selectedItems().length;
    if (count > 4) {
        args.set_cancel(true);
        if (!alerted) {
            alerted = true;
            alert("you reach the maximum number");
        }
    }
}

That should do the trick. Looking forward to your reply.
