SelectionChanged event not working well

[Paul Somberg]

Hello,

I have a RadGridView with an handler for the SelectionChanged event. MultiSelect is enabled. If I hold the mouse button and move the mouse to select rows, the event is triggered as expected. However, if I keep holding the mouse button and move the mouse back to select less rows, the event is not triggered! It seems to me that this is an error in the RadGridView.

I use this functionality to update a label with the number of selected rows, which is not updated correctly this way. Is there a way that I could make this work?

Below is a code snippet that shows my problem.

int previousSelectedItemCount;
        private void rgvObjecten_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (previousSelectedItemCount > rgvObjecten.SelectedRows.Count)
            {
// this is not reached
            }
            previousSelectedItemCount = rgvObjecten.SelectedRows.Count;
 // code to update label here
}

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one with this issue.  I’d tried SelectionChanged and SelectionChanging and neither responded when rows were being deselected by the mouse.  I finally gave up on the ideal of having the program respond in “realtime as the selected rows collection was modified and moved my code into the MouseUp event of the gridview:

private void radGridView_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
 {
    if(radGridView.SelectedRows.Count >0 && radGridView.SelectedRows[0].DataBoundItem is MyObject)
        for (int i = 0; i < radGridView.SelectedRows.Count; i++)
          {
           MyObject obj =    (MyObject)radGridView.SelectedRows[i].DataBoundItem);                         
          //Do stuff with obj
           }
   }
}

Any update on when this fix is coming or a better work around?
