Telerik RadControls - Adding Checkbox Select Column

[ShiftPoint]

Here is a quick example on how to add a check box column to one of your radgrids server side. Keep in mind the grid is created server side and all data in the grid is binded on the fly.

First make sure in your DefineGridStructure() Method you set the following settings:

Code: Select all

       RadGrid1.AllowMultiRowSelection = true;

       RadGrid1.AllowAutomaticInserts = true;

       RadGrid1.ClientSettings.Selecting.AllowRowSelect = true;

       RadGrid1.ClientSettings.Selecting.EnableDragToSelectRows = true;

Next in your method when your binding data to the columns make sure you create a new GridClientSelectColumn.

Code: Select all

  GridClientSelectColumn checkColumn;

Then when you want to create the check box column use something like this:

Code: Select all

  checkColumn = new GridClientSelectColumn();

  checkColumn.HeaderText = "XYZ Column";

  checkColumn.Visible = true;

  checkColumn.Display = true;

  checkColumn.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Left;

   RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(checkColumn);


Hope this helps!
