Starting with version 14.2, GridControl provides Selector Column out of the box. To show this column, set the TableView.ShowCheckBoxSelectorColumn property to true.
For version older than 14.2, to achieve this functionality, it is necessary to create a check edit unbound column, place a check edit in the column header, and select/unselect all check boxes using one check box in the header. You can get more information about this approach in the following KB article: How to implement multiple row selection behavior via a checked column.

Hi all,
I have updated this solution to improve usability. I have created an attached behavior that can be used with ease. Simply add RowSelectionBehavior and to DXGrid to enable this functionality.
Added By: Charles Cuozzo at: 5/17/2012 8:10:03 AMThis solution does not work for me. I am not including a Guid with the data supplied for an ItemsSource to the grid. What's more, the grid is implemented as a control template for the LookUpEdit control. I need to have a "select all" as well as check boxes in each row to either select all rows with a single click or select individual rows.

This does not work if in the SelectionView you set AllowEditing=False

How can I specify a header text next to the checkbox, because I tried the Header property but nothing is displayed.
