Select rows only with checkboxes (clicking the rows to not affect selection)

Hi Marin

I'm fine if this can be done via an option.

As long as it behaves like the ASP.NET Core Grid https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/grid/checkbox-selection.

Have a good day

Hello Giuseppe,

Thank you for adding your vote and for your feedback.

The most common case is that the row should still let people select, and it should be an option to prevent that. That's what this item is for. I don't expect that adding the selection column will automatically stop the row selection on click anywhere in the row.

Hi Marin

We are also facing the same issue. Therefore I upvoted the feature. When there's a Checkbox column, the selection should exclusively work over the checkbox. Clicking anywhere else should not affect the selection.

It was implemented like that in the ASP.NET Core Version and we were quiet happy with it :-)

Best

To leave here another possible workaround - using a RowTemplate can also prevent the selection on row click, but you have to implement the selection checkbox yourself (example here).

Three reasons why this feature is important (and should be voted up by fellow users):

1. If you have a link in a cell opening a popup with some further information and the user needs that information to decide whether or not to select this line, he has to start selecting all over again after clicking the link.

2. Cells can have buttons in them and users don't expect the selection to be altered upon a button-click

3. If you are working with multiple windows you sometimes click somewhere on a window just to get the focus back to that window. Even this alters the selection.

All this is making users mad - so if you read this, please vote up this feature request.

Hello Marin,

unfortunately the bug described below (Even with Incell-Editing enabled a click on a row selects it (and deselects the previous selection). This even happens upon clicking on a button or a link!) is back with 2.15.0.
It had been fixed with 2.11.0 but now it is back.

Please fix this as soon as possible. My users are getting mad at having this problem again.

Regards,

René

Hi René,

I made a separate page for that because I am not sure both will be implemented together. Here's the new one for this issue: https://feedback.telerik.com/blazor/1460737-opening-cells-for-editing-incell-edit-mode-alters-row-selection-in-2-10-0

With 2.10.0 my workaround described below does not work anymore. Even with Incell-Editing enabled a click on a row selects it (and deselects the previous selection). This even happens upon clicking on a button! The only click that does not alter the selection is a click performed on an editable cell. But when clicking on the save or cancel button for the incell-edit, the selection is altered. This has not been the case with 2.8.0 (I don't know about 2.9.0 because I skipped that version).

Please don't tell me this is a feature! At least with Incell-Editing enabled the Selection should only change using the Checkbox-Column!

Hi,

The downside of such a workaround is that you would lose the editing capabilities of the grid. You could, however, add a custom edit form through a button (see here and here).

You may also try to get some custom logic implemented in a fashion similar to this project.

Here is a workaround for all those who cannot live with the current behaviour (like me):

1. For TelerikGrid set

EditMode="@GridEditMode.Incell"

2. For all GridColumns set

Editable="false"

Users get really mad if they multiselected whatever they want and by accidentally clicking on some row remove the whole selection and they have to start all over again !
