[Solved] RadGrid Row Selection

[nagi]

Greetings All,

 

We got a problem with RowSelection in RadGrid. We are using version 5.1 of RadGrid.

 

Problem:

 

I have a check box in the first column and other columns are non editable text only.

 

At the time of selecting more than one row by clicking on the row instead of check box, the above selection is going away.

 

We have seen few instruction like, we should hold "Ctrl" key or Draging for more than one row selection [Link is given below].

 But If we need to select more than one row just by clicking on row can't we accomplish the same? Pls help me out. Its urgent.

Hi Nagireddy,

You can implement multiple row select on mouse clicks without holding the Ctrl key by using the following technique:

ASPX / ASCX

<telerik:RadGrid>
   <ClientSettings>
      <ClientEvents OnRowDeselecting="rowDeselecting" />
   </ClientSettings>
</telerik:RadGrid>

Javascript

function rowDeselecting(sender, eventargs)
{
   eventargs.set_cancel(true);
}

OnRowDeselecting help article

However, please note that in this case the users will not be able to deselect rows on mouse click, unless you provide a special means to do that, e.g. a button.


Kind regards,
