Row Selection very confusing

[Andrew]

 I believe Telerik should correct this issue. You should be able to click a row without it affecting the rest of the other rows.

If the row clicked is already selected, the it should deselect that row (only), and vice versa, if it's deselected already then it should select that row only.

I CAN'T STAND IT when I have selected 20 rows and then when I accidently click outside a checkbox, I loose all my selections. I have the following radgrid, please show me if there is a way, how to achieve this. I already tried the ToggleSelection.js solution, but I get alot of errors because it was not designed for Heirarchy Grid.

 

<telerik:RadGrid ID="rgChildObjects" AllowMultiRowSelection="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false" Width="295px" runat="server">

 

 

 

<MasterTableView HierarchyDefaultExpanded="false" HierarchyLoadMode="client" Name="ChildObjects" DataKeyNames="ReportingChildObjectID">

 

 

 

<DetailTables>

 

 

 

<telerik:GridTableView Name="Columns" Width="100%" ShowHeader="true" DataKeyNames="ReportingColumnID">

 

 

 

<Columns>

 

 

 

<telerik:GridClientSelectColumn />

 

 

 

<telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="true" itemstyle-wrap="false" UniqueName="DefaultDescription" DataField="DefaultDescription" HeaderText="Child Report Column(s)" />

 

 

 

</Columns>

 

 

 

</telerik:GridTableView>

 

 

 

</DetailTables>

 

 

 

<Columns>

 

 

 

<telerik:GridBoundColumn ItemStyle-font-bold="true" HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="true" HeaderStyle-wrap="false" UniqueName="ChildObjectName" DataField="ChildObjectName" HeaderText="Child Reports" />

 

 

 

</Columns>

 

 

 

</MasterTableView>

 

 

 

<ClientSettings AllowExpandCollapse="true">

 

 

 

 

<Selecting EnableDragToSelectRows="false" AllowRowSelect="true" />

 

 

 

</ClientSettings>

 

 

 

</telerik:RadGrid>

Hi Andrew,

At present, you can alter this behavior by pressing Shift/Ctrl. Other than this, you can alter the behavior, by subscribing to the onRowSelecting/onRowDeselecting client side handlers, to make it more consistent with your requirements.

Kind regards,

I agree this situation is very confusing and not consistent with an everyday browsing experience.

That being said, I did get it working using the onRowSelecting/onRowDeselecting events as described.

I vote to get this changed in a future release.


Thanks,


Felipe
