Range Selection

[Yonz]

Hi Team,

I've identified two issues affecting the range selection functionality within the file manager.

1. Dependency on showItemCheckBoxes Property:

Observed Behavior: When the showItemCheckBoxes property is set to true, range selection of files and folders operates as intended. However, when showItemCheckBoxes is set to false, the range selection becomes unreliable, exhibiting inconsistent or erroneous behavior.

2. Dependency on Default view Setting:

Observed Behavior: The range selection functionality is dependent on the default view mode. It works correctly when the default view is set to 'LargeIcons', but fails entirely when the default view is set to 'Details'.

Steps to Reproduce:

For issue 1:

Set showItemCheckBoxes to false.

Attempt to select a range of items.

For issue 2:

Set the default view to 'Details'.

Attempt to select a range of items.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Regards,

Yonz

Release notes:  https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/documentation/release-notes/29.1.39?type=all#filemanager

Root cause : The reported issue first issue occurs due to update check state without validating the showItemCheckBox property in file manager component and the second issue occurs due to not binding layout changes and selection change event while the view element is not available. Due to this, will not trigger wire event after layout changes in file manager component.
