check box in the datagrid

Michael Sync

declare one variable in Javascript 2) set it as 0 by default. 3) write the javascript code - if chk is checked then if thisvariable less than 1 then set this variable to 1 else thisvariable is 1 then show the alert("select only one checkbox") else // chk is unchecked set thisvariable to 1 4) Add this code in onclick (client-side) event of checkedbox

Thanks and Regards, Michael Sync ( Blog: http://michaelsync.net)

Why don't you have a radio button in that column?

Hi, in the gridview even if you put radio button then it will not solve problem. Bcoz in grdview it will vreate dynamically radiobutton. And you cant get result as you can get in simple radiobutton.

But with small programming trick, you can do it.

Did I tell that it will solve the problem? Have you ever seen in any web page having a list of check boxes in the same group, when user selects more than one prompting a message saying "don't select more than one". Don't that sort of design defeats the purpose of using Check boxes?

Hi Guys, As I were said, in datagrid / gridview if putting radio button then that will be in templatefield. and if you know then its creating radiobutton at runtime for every row. So cant assign group in that radio button. So will you be with your radio button everytime ? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: What now ? any doubt ?

I can understand that Using radio-button in a DataGrid will have the same effect as CheckBox. Will that be a problem if we write a JavaScript function to control the single selection of the radio-button list. There's another alternative too to sort this problem, by Adding a label and dynamically adding HTML input tag as Label Text with type as radio and runat server enabled and with the same group name. This works.

Try dynamically adding HTML Server Input Control with type radio and with the same group name.

Yes, Radio-Button Column on a DataGrid is the first Design-Template which I coded few years ago...
