Is it possible to let a checkbox in a column reflect the selected status of a row?
In a way to give another way to select multiple rows (instead of holding CTRL and clicking)...
I have a checkbox in a column, but the line selection is already reset when code in the mouseUp event executes.

Ah setting auto hilite of the datagrid to false does wonders, but you will loose default click/ctrl/shift functionality (which the checkboxes replaces). Checkboxes are more user friendly. Would be nice if there was an option to use both options.

What I have done, which I think is even easier, is added an extra text column, called "X" or "Selected", or whatever you like. Then, when the user selects the row, I toggle the value of that cell to either "X" or empty. I like the look better than that of a checkbox.
