Girdview has selection methods Single/Multiple/Extended. To select multiple items, I need to tick the checkboxes in each Griditem, which takes more time if select more than 20 or 30 items. It would be great if I am able to select gridview items using mouse by click & drag a selection rectangle, like we select in Windows explorer.

As far as I know there is no such default option to do that. My idea is to draw a rectangle shape, and find which griditems are under that area. But, how it could be implemented?

  • nothing, probably you have to implement it on your own – Muzib Aug 09 '18 at 15:08

    Is it necessary to draw a rectangle on the xaml to point out which item is selected? – Breeze Liu - MSFT Aug 13 '18 at 09:33
  • @BreezeLiu-MSFT , Extremely sorry for late reply. It is not necessary to draw any rectangle on xaml to point out selected items. I am not mentioning that. I want to multi-select gridview items by mouse click-drag selection as shown in image. To achieve that, I suggested a way, by drawing a rectangle and selecting the GridView items under that rectangle, since, as far as I know, there is no obvious way to multi-select GridView items except by clicking each item individually. – Mg Bhadurudeen Aug 27 '18 at 02:47
