RowSelected and Shift Click (multi-selection)

[Brian Azzi]

Ok, here's my problem (and I'm hoping that some of you grid guru's out there can help). I have a grid that performs some semi intensive calculations in the RowSelected event. This is fine for user clicked events & doesn't cause a performance issue. Where I run into trouble is when the user uses a shift click operation to select many rows (which is also valid). In this case I really only want to perform the action on the last row selected (the shift click target).

BUT... the RowSelected event fires once for every single row that becomes selected (which I suppose makes sense). Is there anyway to detect that the shift key was down on this / turn off / detect this type of row selection? It seems to cause a lot of unnecessary spinning of the wheels for me...

Thanks in advance!

Hello Brian,

You can use the following code inside RowSelecting event in order to detect whether shift key is pressed or not.

Java Script:

<script type="text/javascript">
 function RowSelecting(sender, eventArgs) {
   if (eventArgs.get_domEvent().shiftKey)
    {
       alert("shiftKey is pressed");
       //your code
    }
   else
       alert("shiftKey is not pressed");
</script>

Regards,
Shinu.
