programatically selceting grid.

hi,

I am using griddatabound control.
I have following two queries:

1) How to programatically select a particular cell say cell(10,10) in grid.
2) When I select a cell in the grid using mouse, the cell click event gets fired. How do i get the cell selected event when i navigate through cells using tab key or up/down arrow keys.

Hi Dinesh,

1) How to programatically select a particular cell say cell(10,10) in grid?

You can use the Model.Selections property to manages selected ranges in the grid. It allows you to add and remove selections, determines selection state of a specific cell. Here is a code to select (2,2) cell in a grid.

//highlight the cell
this.grid1.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cell(2,2));
//highlight the row
this.grid1.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Row(RowIndex));
//highlight the cell
this.grid1.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cell(RowIndex,ColIndex);
//highlight the cell
this.grid1.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Col(CoIIndex));

2) When I select a cell in the grid using mouse, the cell click event gets fired. How do i get the cell selected event when i navigate through cells using tab key or up/down arrow keys.

You can try handle the Model.SelectionChanging event to detect the cell selection in a grid. Please try this and let me know if this helps.

hi,

this.grid1.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cell(2,2));
does makes the cell appear as selected but it doesnot sets the CurrentCell property. I want to programatically set this CurrentCell property.

Thanks
