Hi, I am currently evaluating and testing your sample code of Checkbox column.

You can find modified sample here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ybvgpa 

Clicking on checkbox in data rows does emit checkboxChange event, but clicking on checkbox in header row (aka Select all) doesn't.

What's the proper way to obtain checked rows after clicking the "select all" checkbox?

Thanks in advance

Moreover, is it possible to enable autoCheckHierarchy property in your Checkbox Selection sample?
Event after setting autoCheckHierarchy to true, clicking on parent checkbox doesn't change child's checkbox state or vice versa.

To be noticed, in this sample, clicking on checkbox in header row (aka Select all) does emit checkboxChange event.

Thanks in advance
 Damir

Hi Damir, 

Greetings from Syncfusion Support. 

Checkbox selection 

Checkbox Selection provides an option to select multiple TreeGrid records with help of checkbox in each row. To render checkbox in each treegrid row, you need to use checkbox column with type as CheckBoxusing column type property. In that using getSelectedRows and getSelectedRecords method, we can get the selectedrows and selected records respectively. Refer the below demo link for checkbox selection and help documentation links, 


CheckboxColumn Selection 

To render checkboxes in existing column, you need to set [columns.showCheckbox] property as true. 
It is also possible to select the rows hierarchically using checkboxes in TreeGrid by enabling [autoCheckHierarchy] property. When we check on any parent record checkbox then the child record checkboxes will get checked. 

In checkbox column selection, checkbox change event will trigger only for the data rows checkbox which is the default behavior of TreeGrid. Using getCheckedRecords method, we can get the checked row data. Refer the below sample link, 

autoCheckHierarchy property is only for checkbox column we can’t use it for checkbox selection. 

Kindly get back to us, if you need further assistance. We will be happy to assist you.

Hi Manivannan

thanks for clarification about CheckboxColumn Selection.

Now, the new problem is that inside checkboxchange event, getCheckedRecords() method returns incorrect data. 
Instead of returning currently checked rows, it returns rows that were checked before event.


The purpose is to sum some properties of the checked rows in real time, as soon as the checkboxes are clicked.
Delayed approach by clicking outside button is not an option.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Damir, 

Thanks for the update. 

Checkbox column – is used only for check the data not for selection. 

In checkbox column,  we have updated the checked rowData after the checkboxChange event. But from the shared code example, we could see that you have try to get the checked records in the checkbox change event itself. Due to this previously selected data is shown in the getCheckedRecords method. 

If you want to get the checked records at the time of checkboxChange event, then we suggest you to get the checked records from the checkboxChange event parameter args. Refer the below screenshot,

Hi Manivannan,

thanks for further clarification.

The problem is still present: even if I get the checked records from the checkboxChange event parameter args, their checkboxState is not actual, but it' s previous one.

As I can see, you trigger this event with current (previous) row data, check if it is cancelled, and only then proceed with modifications on the row (and it's relatives (parent and/or child)) respecting autoCheckHierarchy property of treegrid).

So, as checboxChange event is trigerred before the actual modifications happen, it's not possible to get current checkboxStates of the row and it's relatives.

One solution would be to have two events: checkboxChanging (with previous data and cancel property) and checkboxChanged (with new data).

Sorry if my suggestions are out of scope of this conversation.

Thanks in advance
 Damir

Hi Damir, 

Thanks for the update. 

Query 1: So, as checboxChange event is trigerred before the actual modifications happen, it's not possible to get current checkboxStates of the row and it's relatives. 
 
As you said, currently the checkboxChange event is triggered before the check state change.  We consider this as bug  and it will be logged in the below feedback link. So both fix will be included in our upcoming patch release which is expected to be rolled out in 29th July 2019.
