Select row on click without deselecting others

[Dickie]

I'm having a problem with the RadGrid GridSelectColumn where if the user misses the checkbox by a single pixel, it deselects the rest of the items they've selected and selects just that one row. I realize this is because clicking a row selects only that row by default, but I was wondering if there was some way that I could make it so that clicking anywhere in the cell with the checkbox would work the same as clicking the checkbox.

Hello,

I suggest tha you examine the code library below and let me know if it helps to achieve the desired functionality:

That works nicely for what I need except I was wondering if there was a way to make clicking the row again deselect it.

Hi Dickie,

How to select/deselect rows on clicking it in Internet Explorer, without interfering the other selected rows is demonstrated in the following link:

Can't find the link, any update on this?

Hello,

Indeed the link provided in the previous post is no longer working. However, you can refer to the article below which demonstrates how you can prevent deselecting of items once you click on a row:
