ListView selectable cannot select properly
ListView selectable feature could be done better. One thing has been bothering me. Here's an example: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/listview/selection Go to the last page and try to select outside of list items. Problem is that it isn't possible. Maybe Telerik has thought that user also has to be able to select text normally. But for instance in Windows Explorer you can begin selection anywhere inside the window and I think the user expects that behavior.

I agree on tsqrl that this behaviour should be supported. A user should be able to start the selection outside the items and within the parent list view element. Please reconsider to support this.

Also, if I want to add margin for list items using most obvious way with CSS then user cannot start selection in between two items. That doesn't make sense.

I don't know what kind of design is this. In my opinion, selectable target element should definitely be the parent element of the list items. That's the way how selectable list view is usually done. If user wants to select text he can start selection outside of list view element.

How come you cannot even add this as an option? Am I declined to choose myself if I want this behavior?

I consulted with our developers and they confirmed this behavior is by design, since you can start drag selection only within the area where listview items are rendered.

Due to this reason I'm closing this entry.
