Using Excel Copy Buffer together with row selection for multi-deletes

[zewa666]

Hey there,

My grid is heavily built around the Excel Copy Buffer. Now trouble is users would still like to be able to select a couple of rows and delete them in bulk. The page https://ghiscoding.gitbook.io/angular-slickgrid/grid-functionalities/row-selection although mentions that enableCheckboxSelector and enableExcelCopyBuffer do not work well together.

So for me that sounds like I'd have to add a custom bool column with checkboxes and handle that myself is that right @ghiscoding ?

There was this SO that might be helpful, the guy tricked the system by toggling the selection model back and forth, it's more of a patch than anything though but the 2 separate selection models is the real reason why they can't be used together

ok thanks, that confirms my understanding that it should be handled in user land code.

The new answer is to use the new Hybrid Selection Model that was brought in PR #2162 and can be demoed in Example 37 and Example 38, you can use it by enabling enableHybridSelection: true grid option
