Selecting a Single Grid Row with the CheckBox Selectable Column
Environment
Product | Progress® Telerik® UI Grid for UI for ASP.NET MVC |
Description
I want to remove the master checkbox of the built-in checkbox column in the Telerik UI Grid. How can I limit the selection to one selected Grid row only?
Solution
- Remove the master checkbox by adding an empty header template to the column.
- Subscribe for the
click
event of the checkboxes by using a jQuery selector. - In the
click
event handler, get the row and the row classes by using theclosest
jQuery method. - Based on the row classes, use the
clearSelection
method of the Grid.

{
columns.Select().Width(50).HeaderTemplate(h=>h);
columns.Bound(p => p.OrderID).Filterable(false);
columns.Bound(p => p.Freight);
columns.Bound(p => p.OrderDate).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}");
columns.Bound(p => p.ShipName);
columns.Bound(p => p.ShipCity);
