Mutliselect datagrid

[Todd Swygert]

I have a GridDataBoundGrid that I'm trying to use as a multiselect control. Users will select several rows and then perform an action based on the selections. When focus leaves the grid, all the selections are removed and focus is put on the first row. How do I prevent my selections from clearing when leaving the grid?

Hi Todd,

One way you can do this by handling the Model.Selectionchanging event of the grid and set e.Cancel to true for keeping the selection in a grid. Here is a code snippet.

this.grid.Model.SelectionChanging += new GridSelectionChangingEventHandler(Model_SelectionChanging);

void Model_SelectionChanging(object sender, GridSelectionChangingEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = !this.grid.Focused;
}

Best regards,
