Datagrid with Select Checkbox in DIV tag problem

[ISPrincess]

I have a datagrid that contains Checkboxes to allow the user to 'Select' a row.
The datagrid is contained within DIV tags.

I would like to call dgGrid_CheckChanged when the checkbox is checked or unchecked in order to highlight the row as a selected item.

This works fine, until the user has scrolled the grid, and selects a row. Since Autopostback must be true on the checkbox in order to fire dgGrid_CheckChanged, the form repositions the grid back to the top. I would like to somehow keep the grid scrolled where it was within the DIV tag.

I am not sure that I explained this very well, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

ISPrincess: I have a project sitting in front of me this very minute where I have to do the same thing, i.e., have the user 'select' a row or rows using a checkbox within the grid.

I haven't pulled this feat off yet -- could you throw a few pointers this way?? Sure would be a help (this is one area of the DataGrid I have not seen info on). Pushbutton, etc no problem, but a 'static' checkbox???

Appreciate it Princess!

Princ: Should have been a bit more specific -- sorry -- ok, you can use the 'checked-changed' property -- good point on the scrolling datagrid, I'll have the same problem as my grid will be within div tags also. I"ll do some background research -- thanks (you had answered my question in your question) -- one of those weeks.

Princ: Pls don't kill me for writing all over your thread here -- sorry about that -- but I will be working today on this very same problem. In my case the user will be selecting 1 or more of the checkboxes so its not critical that repositioning take place but in 65% of the cases it will be 1 selection so it should work to begin with.

I agree, it would be very annoying for a DGrid to resume back at the top - also in my particular problem I have to insert a headerless grid within an html table with static headers which is nothing more than a bit tedious mechanically to get working. I'll do some background researching today for this solution.

Perhaps someone will drop in with a ready solution!

I found an answer!

Placing SmartNavigation="true" in your <@Page directive Works for IE 5.0 and greater, which is fine for my app.

Here is where I found that information. There is also code that can help you will maintaining scroll position.

That's interesting IS; I knew (and have that directive) in several pages, for other reasons, but had no idea it could coordinate an internaal division location.

Thanks!

IP: Sorry to bother you -- you may have already seen this but it is a solution for accounting for all checkboxes should more than one be selected inside the DataGrid (and perhaps that is not your case at hand) -- just thought I'd reference it: thread855-907488
