Multiple selection in GridDataControl

[Jimmy Ji]

Does GrdiDataControl support multiple row selection? From the properties in the code behind, I only see the "SelectedItem" but there are no "SelectedItems", I wonder if they have something similar to that.

One more thing, is it possible to resize row height after the application is run? I have tried to set the "AllowResizeRows" to true, however, I still cannot resize the row height, but I could resize the column width though...

Thank you very much.

Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for using syncfusion products. You can set the ListboxSelectionMode option to MultiExtent which allows to multiple select in the grid as follows.

[Code] [C#]

void dataGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.dataGrid.ListBoxSelectionMode = GridSelectionMode.MultiExtended;
}

[Code] [Xaml]

ShowAddNewRow="False"
ShowFilters="False"
AutoPopulateColumns="False"
AutoPopulateRelations="False"
VisualStyle="Office14Silver"
ListBoxSelectionMode="MultiExtended">



To Resize the row height in UI you need to set the showrowHeader Property to true as follows. this will allows you to resize the row height.

[Code] [Xaml]

ShowAddNewRow="False"
ShowFilters="False"
AutoPopulateColumns="False"
AutoPopulateRelations="False"
VisualStyle="Office14Silver"
ShowRowHeader="True"
ListBoxSelectionMode="MultiExtended">



Let us know if you need any more information.

What property or event (or something else?) do you use to get items that are selected?

Thanks

Hi Jimmy,

You can use the selection changed event and the property SelectedItems property that return the selected Items collection.

Following code snippets illustrates this.

[Code] [C#}

dataGrid.Model.SelectionChanged += new Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid.GridSelectionChangedEventHandler(Model_SelectionChanged);

void Model_SelectionChanged(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid.GridSelectionChangedEventArgs e)

{
var order = dataGrid.SelectedItems;
}
