How can I update multiple row in a column, or just an entire column based on some selection? I would like to update multiple records across a singular column at one time.
Ideally it would be similar to a client side select column where checking would select all but in my case I have 3 values instead of a boolean value so a drop down menu of some sort would work better to update the column. Is it possible to accomplish this with RadGrid?

Hello Adonis,
Would only a certain column be editable in the whole RadGrid or at different times different columns would need to be edited?
If it is the first option, you can just set all other columns as read-only and load the RadGrid control in edit mode using the approach from one of these help articles:
Default edit mode for grid items on initial load
Put all items in edit mode without additional rebind
If this is not the case, you can take a look at this online demo and modify its javascript logic in order to make it works as per your requirements.

Hello Tsvetina ,
at certain times different columns would need to be edited , but what I was after is a way to bulk edit the entire column through perhaps a custom header if that is possible , if not then another method.
Thanks

Hello Adonis,
You can still use most of the logic from the demo I linked to. The difference would be in the triggering of the editing text boxes. You can specify a HeaderTemplate for the columns and add a checkbox in the header with a client-side event handler for check change. In this handler you can trigger all the textboxes in the column by modifying the logic of the ShowColumnEditor() method.
However, it might be harder to find all the needed objects in javascript to perform this action, so as an alternative you can use a built-in grid client-side event like OnColumnDblClick instead of a checkbox in the header.
Generally speaking the only thing different than the demo is when and how you switch visibility of the textbox/editor control and the label in each template column.
