Row selection across pages

[Khushali]

Hi,

I have a kendo grid, where i have enabled multiple row selection. Right now, i can select rows by using shift key and clicking on the rows in a page. But, when i move to other page, rows that were selected in last page does not remain selected. I want them to remain selected and also, that the user should be able to select new rows across the pages. Is it possible?

Regards,
Khushali

Hi Khushali,

I am afraid that this functionality is currently not supported out of the box. As a workaround I can suggest to store the indexes of the selected rows (.k-state-selected) manually on the requestStart event of the dataSource and re-select them on the dataBound event of the grid. Please have in mind that this approach will not work if the number or position of the rows has been changed (after CRUD operations for example).

I am struggling with row selection across pages too. Please post a very simple example so I can learn from it. Thanks.

Hello Hung,

At this jsFiddle page you will find a small example that uses the aforementioned approach in action. I would like to remind you once again that the suggested solution will not work if uids are changed (when data is fetched from the server e.g. with server paging).
