[Solved] Selection Changed

[Scott Rakestraw]

I am using the new gridviewselect column and it is working great.  My grid is set up to be readonly and the user will select rows.  After selecting and pressing an edit button the grid will hide and a second editable grid will be displayed with the records selected in the first grid.  This is working fine, but what I want is if the user clicks a row it just adds that record to the selected items collection.  I have the following.

    Private Sub myGrid_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Windows.Controls.SelectionChangeEventArgs) Handles myGrid.SelectionChanged

        If e.AddedItems.Count <> 0 Then
            For Each item As Object In e.RemovedItems
                myGrid.SelectedItems.Add(item)
            Next
        End If

    End Sub

When I turn the debugger on this seems to work fine, but if I do not have a break point in this function when I click a row not clicking the gridviewselect column it will not add back all of the removed items.

Hello Scott Rakestraw,

Several people have requested to add such feature to the grid and we have decided to implement it. Such feature allows users to select and deselect items by just clicking on them using a mouse - this is what Microsoft calls Multiple Selection. This feature should be introduced with our Latest Internal Build this Friday.

In the meantime you could try the following workaround:

Private selectionIsChanging As Boolean

Private Sub RadGridView_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As SelectionChangeEventArgs)
    If selectionIsChanging Then
        Return
    End If

    selectionIsChanging = True

    For Each item As Object In e.RemovedItems
        If Keyboard.Modifiers <> ModifierKeys.Control Then
            Me.playersGrid.SelectedItems.Add(item)
        End If
    Next

    selectionIsChanging = False
End Sub

There is only one problem with that code - while the user can select items by just clicking on them he is required to hold down the Control key to unselect an item.

Hope this helps.
