Hi John, 

Thanks for Contacting Syncfusion support.  

There is not direct property to achieve your requirement. However You can make the rows in the SfDataGrid to select only when user double clicks on the row by using the SelctionChanging, SelectionChanged and CellDoubleTapped events of the SfDataGrid as shown in the following code example.  

Code example :  





<syncfusion:SfDataGrid Name="dataGrid" 
                       SelectionChanging="DataGrid_SelectionChanging" 
                       SelectionChanged="DataGrid_SelectionChanged" 
                       CellDoubleTapped="DataGrid_CellDoubleTapped" 
                       ItemsSource="{Binding OrdersListDetails}"/> 
 
bool isDoubleTapped; 
 
private void DataGrid_SelectionChanging(object sender, Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.GridSelectionChangingEventArgs e) 
{ 
    if (!isDoubleTapped) 
        e.Cancel = true; 
} 
 
private void DataGrid_CellDoubleTapped(object sender, Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.GridCellDoubleTappedEventArgs e) 
{ 
    isDoubleTapped = true; 
    this.dataGrid.SelectedIndex = this.dataGrid.ResolveToRecordIndex(e.RowColumnIndex.RowIndex); 
} 
 
private void DataGrid_SelectionChanged(object sender, Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.GridSelectionChangedEventArgs e) 
{ 
    isDoubleTapped = false; 
}
