WPF datagrid selection problem

[Lyjen]

I have a datagrid which is styled for my requirement. Each datagrid row consists of 7 columns. The datatemplates of each column is as follows.

Column 1 - TextBox
Column 2 - ComboBox
Column 3 - TextBlock
Column 4 - TextBox
Column 5 - TextBox
Column 6 - TextBox
Column 7 - TextBlock

I have  an event handler for the PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown of the datagrid, in which I select or deselect the clicked row using code (toggling selection). I have a button in my application.When this button is pressed, I set the  selection mode of the datagrid to Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DataGridSelectionMode.Extended. Everything works fine until now.

But consider the following scenario.

The selection mode of the datagrid is DataGridSelectionMode.Extended. Now I click on the combobox, its dropdown menu opens, And when I press on the scrollbars of the dropdown of the combobox all the selected items of the datagrid gets deselected. In the callstack it is shown that it occurs due to an event raised from datagrids internal method HandleSelectionForCellInput(Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DataGridCell cell = {Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DataGridCell}, bool startDragging = true, bool allowsExtendSelect = true, bool allowsMinimalSelect = true). What is shown in the call stack is shown below.

Now I would like to avoid this internal call for selection from datagrid. Is there any way to do that? Please advise.

Hello,

This seems to be the WPF Toolkit grid? Can you explain how this is related to RadGridView?

Sorry  If I have posted this on wrong forum...... This is wpf toolkit datagrid itself. I don't know whether this is related to RadGridView in any way.

Hello Lyjen,

You could try searching for an answer on StackOverflow. You should be able to find quite a few topic related to the WPF Toolkit DataGrid there.
