Hi,
In Windows 7 (maybe Vista too) there is an explorer feature found int the "Folder Options" called "Use check boxes to select items" which lets the user (un)select files using the traditional methods or checkboxes.
I am trying to emulate that feature using the GridView but I haven't figured out how to bind the checkbox to the rows selection state.
Ideally, one the row/checkbox selection should also be tied to the SelectedItems property of the Grid so that it can be used in the code behind to select the row and cause the checkbox to update.
I would really appreciate an example about how to solve this problem.
Cheers,
Clint

Hello,

Why not use GridViewSelectColumn directly? You can check this demo for more info.

Do you want to have your say when we set our development plans?
Do you want to know when a feature you care about is added or when a bug fixed?

Hi v-govinr@microsoft.com,
On the click event you need to add the logic for SelectAll and UnselectAll:
And last but not least, you need to add a custom behavior that will be responsible for all the selection of the items.
I am sending you a sample project illustrating the proposed solution.

GridViewSelectColumn is bound to the property of the GridViewRow - IsSelected. As a result it cannot be related to another custom property of your own.
What you can do in this case is to define a GridViewCheckBoxColumn, bind it to the property you want and predefine its Header. For instance:
<
telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn
DataMemberBinding
=
"{Binding IsPlaying}"
>
<
telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn.Header
>
<
CheckBox
telerik:StyleManager.Theme
=
"Office_Black"
Click
=
"CheckBox_Click"
/>
</
telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn.Header
>
</
telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn
>
On the click event you need to add the logic for SelectAll and UnselectAll:
private void CheckBox_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var checkBox = sender as CheckBox;
if (checkBox != null)
{
if (checkBox.IsChecked.GetValueOrDefault())
{
this.playersGrid.SelectAll();
}
else
{
this.playersGrid.UnselectAll();
}
}
}
And last but not least, you need to add a custom behavior that will be responsible for all the selection of the items.
