DataGrid and multiple row selection

[harjeen]

Does anyone know how to select multiple rows in a DataGrid without having to select them one at a time using CTRL+MouseClick?

End users of my application will need to be able to select large ranges of rows, and the single selection process will be too tedious.

Thanks in advance,

I don't know what version of the datagrid you are using but I have the apex true dbgrid version and if I select the first record and then move to the last record and use shift+MouseClick I can select all the records in that range.
I don't know if thats any help. But as far as selecting multiple records that are not all in the same order in the grid, I don't know if there is another way.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. I'm using the DataGrid supplied with Visual Studio 6.0 SP 3, and the shift-click doesn't work. For some reason, Microsoft saved that functionality for selecting multiple columns.

The Apex Grid is close to $400 (I believe) and I'm trying to avoid that expense if at all possible.

Any other suggestions?
