Strange behaviour in 'Checkbox' selection mode

[SkyrimParticipant]

Greetings JQWidgets Team,

I have some questions about the ‘checkbox’ selection mode in the jqxGrid.

-Can the chebox for selecting/unselecting all the records in the grid be disabled or at least set to hidden??

-Why is the unselect-all action bound to the ‘rowselect’ event?? I suposse it should be bound to the ‘rowunselect’ event.

You can see this behaviour in code like this:

$(“#jqxgrid”).on(‘rowselect’, function(event){
var sel=$(‘#jqxgrid’).jqxGrid(‘getselectedrowindexes’);
alert(sel.length);
});

The alert triggers when checking any row in the grid and when checking the select-all checkbox, but also when unchecking the select-all checkbox. Is this normal or maybe a bug???

I’m using JQuery 1.9.x and jQwidgets 3.5

Thanks in advance.

Hi Skyrim,

1. No. It cannot be hidden.
2. No, this is not a normal behavior. I added a work item.

Hi Mr. Stoev,

Well, I’m not sure what you mean with a “work item”, but I guess the JQWidgets Team is going to fix this “problem” and others.

Can I still make a “little” sugestion?? The select-all checkbox should have the option to be hidden/disabled. This can be helpful when having very large datasources, so forcing the end user to search and select only specific rows, or when there is a defined limit for the selected rows (ex. no more than 20 items to select )

From time to time, I’ll be tracking how this issue is going.

Thanks for the help.
