How to Create a Select/Un-select All Checkbox for a Column Checkbox in a Grid

< Back

Scenario

There are instances when a select/un-select all needs to be added to a checkbox column in a grid on a form.

 

Solution

The above can be achieved by adding HTML code in the control caption.

Default HTML code caption:

{Column Caption}<br/><input id='{Unique ID of select all checkbox}' type='checkbox' onclick="$('input#{Control Name}').
each(function(){$(this).prop('checked',$('input#{Unique ID of select all checkbox}').prop('checked'));})" />

Sample HTML code in Control Caption:

Delete<br/><input id='deleteall' type='checkbox'onclick="$('input#PC30200Delete').
each(function(){$(this).prop('checked',$('input#deleteall').prop('checked'));})"/>
