You want to have a multi-selectin of rows but don't want to use the general way of using 'Control' key while selection. In such case, one possible way what I can think of is to have first column as checkboxes. Allow user to select them in order to select rows. Thus, selecting/clicking on checkboxes alone would select multiple rows at a time.

My apllication will be running in a device which has no key board and has a touch screen...
I have a data grid in my application which should support multiple row selection if the user selects row/s.How do i achive this without using check boxes?

Ok. Checkboxs suit your requirement. Why not use it?

That is my client's requirement .. :(

Ah! Client's requirement - I am sure you must have freedom enough to ask them, "Ok, suggest how you invision to work?" Any example/thoughts?

Now, in case you really need other option, hmmm... why not put that if someone double-clicks a row it's kind of selected as if selected by clicking cntrl+single select?
This way, single click on row is normal selection but double click is like selected even if next row is clicked.
Of course, this might be a little confusing but then, CLIENT is there to object and suggest and approve!
