Grid editing behaviour changed between v5.0 and v13.0

[ionut.ursuleanu]

Hi,

I'm working on updating smartgwt from v5.0(SmartClient Version: v10.0p_2021-05-26/LGPL Development Only (built 2021-05-26)) to v13.0(SmartClient Version: v13.0p_2024-10-05/LGPL Development Only (built 2024-10-05)) and I noticed some changes related to grid editing behaviour.

I attached a modified "Edit by Cell" showcase sample(added SelectionStyle.SIMPLE & SelectionAppearance.CHECKBOX). In v5 the rows remain selected while editing multiple lines, but in v13 only the last row edited remains selected.

We see the issue you mention and will look into.

Hi,

Did you make any progress on this?

Thanks

Hi Ionut
Sorry for the delay responding here.
There was indeed a change to the default behavior here.
(Edit to add - this was covered in the change log backcompat notes for 12.0: https://smartclient.com/changes/?pro...t&version=12.0)

To reinstate the old behavior you can set the explicit listGrid.editSelectionType attribute to match the selection type for the grid as a whole (in this case setting it to SelectionStyle.SIMPLE)
