Hi Pam,

You can set the ListBoxSelectionMode property of the grid.

//
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.ListBoxSelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended;
//

// Add the below code, to avoid selection through mouse
private void Model_SelectionChanging(object sender, GridSelectionChangingEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Reason == GridSelectionReason.MouseDown)
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
}

Hi Rajagopal:
thanks for replying, but I want to be able to select rows both from mouse and keyboard, does the code snippet do that?
thanks

Hi Pam,

If you want to select through both mouse and keyboard, then avoid the code given in the previous thread for the SelectionChanging event.

Please refer to the "GridControl - Selections" topic in the evaluation center link below:
