Shift + selection not working as desired in grid

[Shashi]

Hello,

When locked columns and multi-column headers are configured in a grid and selectable: "multiple cell" is configured, we observed

• Ctrl+ selection is working fine
• Mouse drag and selection also working fine
• Shift + selection is not working as expected (seems buggy behavior) 

Example : https://dojo.telerik.com/@shashi.kumar/IdeKUHam

What is the behavior of shift + selection on grid? Is there any documentation for the same?

Is there any way we can disable shift + selection for the grid? (ctrl selection & mouse selection should work)

 

Thanks

Hi Shashi,

I confirm this is a bug with the Shift selection when multi headers are configured. Please refer to the following links for tracking of it:

• GitHub: https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/6863
• Feedback portal: https://feedback.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui/1567140-shift-selection-not-working-as-desired-in-grid-with-multi-column-headers

As t token of gratitude, I have added some Telerik points to your account.

Finally, there is no straightforward approach for achieving the disabling of just the shift key. However, you can try the following approach to see if it is working correctly for the project requirements:

var grid = $("#grid").getKendoGrid();
  
grid.tbody.on('mousedown',function(e){
    grid.selectable._allowSelection = function() { return true };
    
    if(e.shiftKey){     
        grid.selectable._allowSelection = function() { return false };      
    }        
});

Let me know if you have any questions.
