How to select a row in a grid by programmation

[Gilles Carreau]

Hi,

I use a grid of type Syncfusion.Windows.forms.grid.gridControl

I can not figure out how to select a specific row at a specific rowIndex

I have the rowIndex but can not find the way to do this. This is supposse to be very simple but it seams to be complicated

I try something like but it doesnt work
MyGrid.Rows(rowIndex).selected = True

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

You can select a specific row at a specific rowindex with the help of following code snippet.

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.gridControl1.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Rows(2,3));
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.gridControl1.AllowSelection = GridSelectionFlags.Any;
            this.gridControl1.ListBoxSelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended;
            this.gridControl1.AlphaBlendSelectionColor = Color.Yellow;
        }

Please refer the sample in the below link that illustrates the above.

Hi,

I tried the exemple that you give me and I can now select the row that I want

The problem is after I select the row that I want when I try to get the new rowIndex of this new row I still get the old rowIndex

This an exemple of a test that I do to verify if the rowIndexof the new row selected has changed

Dim iRowIndex As Int32 = gcTermes.CurrentCell.RowIndex()
' I show the actual row Index of the actual selected row
MsgBox(iRowIndex.ToString)
gcTermes.Model.Rows.RemoveRange(iRowIndex, iRowIndex)
' I select the rows just before the actual row selecteted
gcTermes.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Rows((iRowIndex - 1), (iRowIndex - 1)))
' I show the actual Selected rowIndex
msgBox(gcTermes.CurrentCell.RowIndex.toString)

What i am looking for is to select a specific row in the grid just like when you click on the row with a mouse click

Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance an have a nice day

Hi,

You can set the CurrentCell.MoveTo to the selected row. Please refer the following code snippet that shows how we can move the current cell to the selected row.

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Me.GridControl1.Model.Selections.Clear()
        Me.GridControl1.Model.Selections.Add(Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRangeInfo.Rows(5, 5))
        Me.GridControl1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(5, 1)
    End Sub

Please refer the modified sample in the below link.
