Igniteui-angular: Grid row selection box on hover

[Eralmidia]

Question

While the row selection checkbox is a nice feature, it does add quite a bit of noice to UI.

Is it currently possible to get a behaviour similar to windows explorer, where the checkbox only is visible on hover?

Hello @Eralmidia,
The requested behavior is not supported by default but can be easily achieved with some additional code on the application level.
I managed to build 2 sample applications that show how this behavior can be delivered either using the row selection template or using the provided new action strip component.
Please check out the samples and let me know if you have any further questions or comments and recommendations.

Hi @ddincheva

Thanks a lot, I'll check the samples 😃

[Eralmidia]

Seems like it's working fine, I'll close down this issue 🙂

@ddincheva I tried implementing the sample in our code (using the row selection template method), and it seems to work for a igx-grid, but not for a igx-tree-grid. Are there some considerations to be made when using this component?

[Eralmidia]

Never mind, solved it by changing the igx-grid-cell to igx-tree-grid-cell 👍
