ASPxGridViewBehaviorSettings.AllowSelectByRowClick Property

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(false)]
public bool AllowSelectByRowClick { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(False)>
Public Property AllowSelectByRowClick As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	true to enable row click selection; otherwise, false.

Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type	Path to AllowSelectByRowClick
ASPxGridView	.SettingsBehavior .AllowSelectByRowClick
GridViewProperties	.SettingsBehavior .AllowSelectByRowClick

Remarks

Set the AllowSelectByRowClick property to true to enable row click selection. A new row click clears the previous selection and selects the current row.

ASPxGridView supports multiple row selection. A user can select multiple rows as follows:

• Hold down the Ctrl key and click the rows.
• Click the first row, hold down the Shift key, and click the last row.

When row selection changes, the control raises the server-side ASPxGridBase.SelectionChanged or the client-side ASPxClientGridView.SelectionChanged event (based on the ProcessSelectionChangedOnServer property value).

Run Demo: ASPxGridView - Use Row Clicks

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="ASPxGridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" KeyFieldName="EmployeeID">
    <SettingsBehavior AllowSelectByRowClick="true"/>
    <Columns>
        <%--...--%>
    </Columns>
</dx:ASPxGridView>

Limitations

• When the AllowSelectSingleRowOnly property is set to true, multiple row selection is disabled.

• For the ASPxGridLookup control, the AllowSelectByRowClick property is always set to true.

• When cell merge is enabled, ASPxGridView does not support row selection.
