ListBoxSelectionMode property on GridDataBoundGrid Bug

[Pratima]

Hi,
I am using latest ( 4.4.xx) version of Syncfusion suite.

I am using GridDataBoundGrid control.
Since I need to be able to select multiple rows, and there are many suggestion on forum to use ListBoxSelectionMode property, I decided to use MultiExtended selection mode.

Problem however is, (and does not limit to MultiExtended ) if I set this property to anything other than 'None', I can't do the basic things like column selection by clicking on column header.
Hence I can't do basic ( and required in my case ) operations such as selecting, Dragging column, moving them etc.
Only thing works is sorting by clicking/doublecliking on the header.

AllowSelection is property is set to Any.
AllowColDrag is set to true.

This is not a new problem and continues in latest version.

Do you have any solution for it?

Thanks,
Pratima

Hi Pratima,

This behavior is by design. Selecting the ListBoxSelectionMode to something other than None turns off selections types other than rows including turning off column selections. One way around this is to handle teh CellClick event to catch a click on a column header and explicitly add the column selection at that point. Here is a little sample that does this.

Sample :MoveColsWithListBoxMode.Zip

Best regards,

Thanks. I found another way to hack into this.
I am just curious to know why was this design decision made.
Because the way I look at it, it's a bug to me as a client of the grid and not helping.

Thanks,
