#Remarks

By default, end-users are allowed to select multiple rows while navigating through the grid with the keyboard. Setting the ShowCheckBoxSelectorChangesSelectionNavigation property to False enables the automatic selection of the focused row, while the row losing focus is automatically deselected. In this mode, only one row focused with the keyboard is selected at one time.
