Multiple Cell selection

Alastair posted over 10 years ago

Hi,

I would like to be able to select multiple cells using shift key and a click. This works completely fine when I set CellClickAction="SelectCell". However I need CellClickAction="EnterEditModeIfAllowed". The behaviour I now see is that I click into a cell and it becomes editable. I then hold down shift and click into another cell. Instead of selecting all the cells in a row, it just selects that one cell. To select all of them I then need to select the original cell while holding shift. Is there any obvious way around this?

Thanks,

Alastair

<dataPresenter:FieldLayoutSettings AllowClipboardOperations="All"
SelectionTypeRecord="ExtendedAutoDrag"
SelectionTypeCell="Extended">
</dataPresenter:FieldLayoutSettings>
</dataPresenter:XamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings>
<dataPresenter:XamDataGrid.FieldSettings>
<dataPresenter:FieldSettings CellClickAction="EnterEditModeIfAllowed" />
</dataPresenter:XamDataGrid.FieldSettings>

Hello Alastair,

You can handle the XamDataGrid's PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown event and check if the Shift key is pressed in the handler. After doing this you should manually add the cells. Please note that you should check if the new selected cell is on the right, left above or below the first selected cell, so you know how to iterate the records and cells.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your reply. I have submitted the idea. However for now can you think of any way around this? I guess I could manually intercept the click and check if shift is held down and if so add the cells to the selected cells list?

Thanks,

Alastair
