I have the DataGrid SelectionUnit set to Row and SelectionMode set to Multiple.
I'm trying to add a DataGridBooleanColumn that has a check box in the header and for each row. I would like to bind the IsChecked property of the checkbox to if the Row is selected or not.
The check box in the header would either select all or deselect all depending on if it is checked or not. I was able to use the SelectAll and DeselectAll methods which selects all the rows, but it does not check the checkbox at the row level if the row is selected.
Is there a way to do this?

Hello Nathan,
There are two options that I can propose to achieve the select all/ deselect all.
1. You can use the HeaderContentTemplate of the DataGrid column. In this template, you can add a CheckBox control. Then bind the IsChecked to a property in the ViewModel that implements property changed.
<Grid>
<telerik:RadDataGrid x:Name="dataGrid"
ItemsSource=""
AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<telerik:RadDataGrid.Columns>
<telerik:DataGridBooleanColumn PropertyName="IsChampion"
HeaderText="Champion?">
<telerik:DataGridColumn.CellContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Your property here}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:DataGridColumn.CellContentTemplate>
</telerik:DataGridBooleanColumn>
</telerik:RadDataGrid.Columns>
</telerik:RadDataGrid>
</Grid>2. The second option is to use a command. The DataGrid control has a ColumnHeaderTap command that is executed when tapping on a header.
public class ColumnHeaderTapCommand : DataGridCommand
{
public ColumnHeaderTapCommand()
{
Id = DataGridCommandId.ColumnHeaderTap;
}
public override bool CanExecute(object parameter)
{
return true;
}
public override void Execute(object parameter)
{
if (parameter is Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.DataGrid.DataGridBooleanColumn)
{
// sample logic implementation. You have to extend it further.
var data = (this.BindingContext as ViewModel).Clubs;
foreach (var item in data)
{
if (item.IsChampion == true)
{
item.IsChampion = false;
}
else if (item.IsChampion == false)
{
item.IsChampion = true;
}
}
}
// default command execution for other columnselse this.Owner.CommandService.ExecuteDefaultCommand(DataGridCommandId.ColumnHeaderTap, parameter);
}
}
Regarding to the IsChecked property for column. You have the SelectedItem property which is Bindable. Create a property in the ViewModel and Bind it to the SelectedItem property. Implement property changed interface and additional logic to update the IsChecked property value depending on whether the item is selected or not.

I'm trying to implement this functionality as well. Looking at the original post, I don't see where this would work. The idea is to be able to select all rows under a particular group. If you look at the first screen shot below from a Windows forms application I have, I can do that because I can click the check box in the header under the group.
If you look at the second screen shot from the MAUI application I'm working, I only have the headers at the top, so I don't have a checkbox to indicate to a user where to click to select all records under a particular group.
Using RadDataGrid under MAUI, what's the best way to implement functionality to check the boxes for each row under a particular group?
Hi Clint,
You can use the GroupHeaderTap command, or add a checkbox control in the GroupHeader by using the GroupHeaderTemplate.
When using the command you can change the state of the property bound to the Checkbox IsChecked property. This approach requires custom logic implementation.
All commands that DataGrid provides are described here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/controls/datagrid/commands/overview

I added the below, which works great. However, I'm using AggregateDescriptors to display the total number of records under each group when grouping. This is overriding those aggregate totals now.
Is there a way to add the aggregates to the template? Or am I going to have to add them somehow to the text binding on the label?
<telerik:RadDataGrid.GroupHeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate><Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<CheckBox Grid.Column="0"
Margin="0,0,0,0"
VerticalOptions="Center"
HorizontalOptions="Center" />
<Label Grid.Column="1"
Text="{Binding}"
VerticalOptions="Center"
HorizontalOptions="Start" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:RadDataGrid.GroupHeaderTemplate>
The aggregates are applied to column or group based on whether the ShowGroupFooter or ShowColumnFooter is set. Also you can display them in the group header by setting the ShowGroupHeaderAggregates
If you want to apply custom function on the aggregates, then you can use the Delegate Aggregate Descriptor: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/controls/datagrid/aggregates/delegate-aggregate-descriptor
If you want to display the aggregates values in the GroupHeaderTemplate. Bind the AggregateValues collection of the GroupHeaderContext, then you can use a converter to display the values. Here is a sample example without converter.

I used the following, but I'm getting an error, see screenshot at the bottom. I'm using a DataTable as the source for the grid.
I get aggregate totals in the group footer, and I get them if I remove the header template.

Hi Clint, in my previous comment I wrote the following:

You have the aggregates values, how to display them in the template is up to you. You can use converter.
