Limit Selectable Rows for MultiSelect in cxGrid (Developer Express)

Question

Does nybody know how to limit the number of rows the user can select in a cxGrid where MultiSelect is active?

The Grid is working in GridMode = True - because the amount of data is really big (200.000 rows). - Now if you press CTRL+A all rows are loaded because the grid wants to select them all.

Any tipps?

Thank you

Answer 1

One way would be to deactivate Ctrl-A in your Form by creating a shortcut that would preempt it. Just an idea, but it should work.

Try this in your CanSelectRecord event -

if Sender.Controller.SelectedRecordCount > x then
    AAllow := False;

Where 'x' is the limit you want.
