Selection

Updated on Sep 15, 2025

RadTaskBoard provides you with selection functionality, which allows the user to select an item from the data displayed in the columns.

Users can select an item through the control's UI by clicking somewhere on a given task.

Disabling Selection

To disable the selection functionality you can set the CanUserSelect property to False.

This will disable the selection only for the end-user. It will still be possible to manipulate the selection programmatically.

Example 1: Set the CanUserSelect property in XAML

XAML
	<telerik:RadTaskBoard x:Name="radTaskBoard" CanUserSelect="False" />	

Example 1: Set the CanUserSelect property in code-behind

C#
	this.radTaskBoard.CanUserSelect = false;

Events

The control exposes a SelectionChanged which is fired each time an item has been selected.

Example 2: Subscribing to the SelectionChanged event

C#
	private void SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
	{
		var selectedItem = e.AddedItems[0];
	}
