• ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridLookup ID="gridLookup" runat="server" SelectionMode="Multiple" ...>
    <Columns>
        <dx:GridViewCommandColumn ShowSelectCheckbox="True" SelectAllCheckboxMode="AllPages" />
        <!-- ... -->
    </Columns>
    <!-- ... -->
</dx:ASPxGridLookup>

View Example: How to enable multiple selection

For more information about available selection modes, read the Selection Modes topic.

Note

• When the multiple selection mode is enabled (the SelectionMode property is set to Multiple), incremental filtering does not work.
• In single-selection mode, the GridLookup always synchronizes its value with the focused row in the drop-down grid when a user sorts grid columns, navigates through pages,etc. You can press ESC to rollback a newly selected value and restore an original editor’s value.

Note

The SelectionMode property synchronizes its value with the ASPxGridViewBehaviorSettings.AllowSelectSingleRowOnly property (which can be accessed through the GridViewProperties.SettingsBehavior property).
