    Hi Telerik team,

    Due to our business, we have to build a grid view using AutoGenerateColumns="True".In this grid, we place a check box. But to tick it, we have to click 3 times (attached file):
    - First time, active cell
    - Second time, active check box.
    - Third time, tick on check box. 
    Question is: How can we build a grid which tick check box only one time? And below is our code

    MainPage.xaml
    <UserControl xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"  
                 x:Class="SilverlightApplication7.MainPage"
        xmlns:Controls="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView" 
        >
      
        <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
            <Controls:RadGridView x:Name="grTest" AutoGenerateColumns="True"></Controls:RadGridView>
        </Grid>
    </UserControl>

    MainPage.xaml.cs
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Windows.Controls;
      
    namespace SilverlightApplication7
    {
        public partial class MainPage
        {
            public MainPage()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
                var persons = new List<Person> {new Person("Davide Seaman", true), new Person("Roberto Baggio", false)};
                grTest.ItemsSource = persons;
            }
        }
      
        public class Person
        {
            public string Name { get; set; }
            public bool IsMarried { get; set; }
      
            public Person(string name, bool isMarried)
            {
                Name = name;
                IsMarried = isMarried;
            }
        }
    }

    Thanks,

  2.

    Hi Triet Nguyen Cong,

    You can set the Snippet EditTriggers property of the gridview to "CellClick". This way - clicking the cell only once will go in edit mode.

    Let me know if this helps.

    Hi Veselin Vasilev,

    By using EditTriggers property, we only can reduce 1 time click. That means, to tick a check box, we still have 2 steps:
    - The first click go to edit mode
    - The second click tick to check box.

    Is there any property which we can set to tick to check box with only one click?

    Thanks!

    Hi Triet Nguyen Cong,

    There is no such property. What you can do is to define your own cell template and put a checkbox there.
    This way you should be able to check/uncheck with only one click. The downside is that you need to subscribe to the Click event of the checkbox to update the underlying property of your business object.

    <telerik:GridViewColumn Header="IsActive" >
        <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsActive}"
                          Click="CheckBox_Click"></CheckBox>
            </DataTemplate>
        </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
    </telerik:GridViewColumn>

    Hope this helps.

    Best wishes,

    Hi Veselin Vasilev,

    As we mentioned in the first post, we are building a grid with dynamic columns, so we have to use "AutoGeneratedColumns = True" property. This grid is a check box matrix allow user choose. So, we don't think we can use CellTemplate to fix this problem.

    Anyway, thanks for your support!

    Hi Triet Nguyen Cong,

    In this case you can define the DataTemplate as a resource and set the CellTemplate in the AutoGeneratingColumn event of the gridview:

    <UserControl.Resources>
      <DataTemplate x:Key="boolDataTemplate">
           <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsActive}" Click="CheckBox_Click"></CheckBox>
      </DataTemplate>
    </UserControl.Resources>


    <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Clubs}"                                
       AutoGeneratingColumn="RadGridView_AutoGeneratingColumn"/>

    private void RadGridView_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Column.UniqueName == "IsActive")
        {
            e.Column.CellTemplate = this.Resources["boolDataTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
        }
    }

    This way you will still have the columns autogenerated.

    Kind regards,

    Looks like there is a simpler solution now than defining a custom cell: http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/gridview-checkbox-column.html

    Thanks Valentin, for the tip.
    But is it also possible to set AutoSelectOnEdit="True" when AutoGenerateColumns="True"?
