How to Add a CheckBoxColumn?

Question

Hi Team,

I am trying to add a checkboxcolumn into the UWP sfdatagrid. Is there a way to do it like below?

            DataGridCheckBoxColumn checkbox = new DataGridCheckBoxColumn();
            checkbox.Header = "";
            checkbox.Width = 30;
            dataGrid.Columns.Add(checkbox);

Or does it need to be done in XAML? Specifically is there a GridCheckBoxColumn (I think this is available in WPF) in the Syncfusion extension for UWP? If so, can you explain how it works?

If there are other suggestions, I''m open to them.

Regards,

Josh

In XAML it is quite simple:

                    <sfDataGrid:GridCheckBoxColumn MappingName="IsChecked"
                                                   HeaderText=""
                                                   AllowEditing="True"
                                                   ColumnSizer="Auto"/>

Hi Joshua, 
 
You can add the CheckBoxColumn at code behind in UWP platform like WPF. We have prepared a sample for this and you can refer the sample from the below location, 
 




 
var checkBoxColumn = new GridCheckBoxColumn() {MappingName="IsSelected", 
                                               HeaderText = "", 
                                               AllowEditing = true, 
                                               ColumnSizer = GridLengthUnitType.Auto 
            }; 
this.datagrid.Columns.Add(checkBoxColumn);
