Hi,
I have a grid with one column filled with checkboxes so that each row can be enabled/disabled for reporting. I need some help getting a clean interaction.
We want to be able to support both of the following....
1) A user should be able to toggle a single checkbox with a single mouse click in the cell.
2) A user should also be able to select multiple cells so that a click or copy down will affect multiple checkboxes.
I haven't found a way to accommodate both types of interactions cleanly. Has anyone else solved this?
For our text based cells, we've required a double click to enter edit so that we can support multiple cell selection - user's aren't happy with that and for checkboxes it's considered unacceptable. For text type cells, how can we support entering edit mode if a user starts typing alphanumeric keys?
===================================
Another minor item that our user's are tripping up on, but we'll probably just address with education.
User's keep selecting the filter checkbox thinking that it will either activate/deactivate all the checkboxes, but it does filtering, so completely baffles them. We don't want to disable filtering for this column as it is useful once people understand the behavior. Anyone else encountered this?
Thanks for any suggestions!

I took another look and realized that holding the <Ctrl> key supports multiple select and then also copied down. I'll have to talk w/ our stakeholders to see if that is a preferable interaction. Currently to select multiple cells, we just drag the mouse and don't need to hold the <Ctrl> key. However, it then requires a double click to enter edit which is not desired behavior.
Thanks!
HI,
You need to hold the cntl-key down when you drag over the cells.

Hi Matt,
Thank you for your example. Unfortunately I was not able to see the behavior that you describe. When I build/run, I am able to single click the checkbox, but not able to drag and select multiple cells.
I am running on Windows 7. The version of infragistics that I have is InfragisticsWPF3.Editors.v10.3 - I noticed the solution has references to InfragisticsWPF4 - could that be what I'm missing? I also don't have the FrontPage reference that is listed in the project.

I am just following up on this forum thread.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
HI Isr,
I am attaching a sample application that toggles the CheckBox Field on CellClick and allows you to drag down and toggle the CheckBox fields below.
Please review my sample.
