[Solved] Select a row in a GridView with a custom row layout

[Vincent Jezequel]

Hi,
I've been implementing a Gridview with a custom row layout such as the one in your example.
But it doesn't seem to allow row selection anymore, once I set the RowStyle attribute ? Is there anything particular to do ?

Thanks

Hi Vincent Jezequel,

There are two outstanding problems that will prevent you from selecting rows in such scenario.

The first one is that selection can only happen when a cell is clicked which is not very desirable in some custom scenarios like the custom row layout. We are currently working on a fix that will allow selection when users click anywhere on a row. The fix should be available this Friday with our latest internal build.

The second one is that our custom row layout sample uses GridViewCells which is an overkill for such scenarios. It is best to use TextBlock elements instead of GridViewCells. We are currently redoing our sample to use TextBlock elements.

Once we release our new build this Friday and if you could switch from GridViewCell to TextBlock you will be able to select  rows.

Kind regards,

OK, that's pretty much what I was thinking...
I already have replaced GridViewCells, so I just have to wait for your next build :)

Thanks a lot for your reactivity
