Limit the number of rows a user selects

[AbijeetParticipant]

I’m using selectionmode as checkbox and would like to limit the number of records a user can select to 5. Is this possible? I can’t believe that I can’t stop the propagation of the rowselect event to stop the row from being selected. That’s a pretty bad implementation.

$jqxTaggedDev.on('rowselect', function(event) {
  var selectedRows = $jqxTaggedDev.jqxGrid('getselectedrowindexes');
  if (selectedRows.length > __GLOBAL__.maxSelectedRows) {
    // Doesn't work.        
    var rowIndex = event.args.rowindex;
    $jqxTaggedDev.jqxGrid('unselectrow', rowIndex);
    $jqxTaggedDev.jqxGrid('refresh');

    // Doesn't work either
    event.stopPropogation();
    return false;
  }
});

Hi Abijeet,

Restriction of what can be or cannot be selected is not supported by our Grid.

Hi Peter,

I’m sorry if I came off as rude. Most of the times the grid is awesome and does so many awesome things automatically but sometimes it can be a pain to use. Thanks, though, I’ll see if I can find a “hacky” way of doing this.

Hi Abijeet,

jqxGrid has many features, but does not have all features for everybody. That’s why the evaluation is free.
