Grid with fixed columns (checkbox column)

Would be nice to have a way to easily configure columns to be fixed (position and width), like a checkbox column to select rows.

This kind of column need to have fixed width and position (cannot be reordable).

But, KendoUI could has also a native support for rows selection, allowing us to just turn on this feature that could have a lot of sub-features: Remember selected rows by page, mark/unmark all, custom options in the column menu to massive mark, and so on.

Petyo,

Thanks for your reply.

The checkbox-select implementation given in the above link has a number of issues.

The sample implementation does not support Kendo MVVM or AngularJS. It does not play nicely with the grid's built-in select features (ctrl-click to select multiple, etc). It gets out of sync with the grid's native selection behavior when the grid "select" option is also used. It's hard to reuse for multiple grids without copying and pasting code. It can't be changed gracefully between single-select and multiple-select modes.

The user community really needs a proper solution that's baked into the grid. I've seen at least a dozen different posts about it, with differing and incomplete solutions, all over the internet.

The implementation described here can be easily achieved with the current Grid feature set. Check this how-to:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/how-to/Selection/grid-selection-checkbox

Since several releases, the grid also supports frozen columns:

I agree, except for the part about the column appearing only when the user initiates. To me, this defeats the purpose of having the checkboxes (since you can already select rows by clicking on them normally).

It would be nice to have build-in support for multiselect in grid via checkboxes in first column and with ability to preserve selection when user changes current page, see http://sympletech.com/kendo-ui-grid-multiselect-with-checkboxes. It's especially needed for grids displayed on tablets. The multiselect column should appear only when user initiate that operation, to preserve some space in other scenarios.

This is kind of a duplicate of this (or vice versa):

http://feedback.kendoui.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/2526008-add-cross-page-checkbox-selection-to-grid

I've voted for both, but could be merged.

While the K-grid allows you to build everything yourself, it would be great if you could get standard stuff so many of us need, like checkbox selection columns, and all the context management of sorting and filtering, out-of-the-box.
