Select Row

[Administrator]

This should be an easy question, but for some reason I can't get Grid to do this. I want the entire row to be selected (highlighted) whenever a cell is selected. How can I do this?

Thanks,

Greg

There are two solutions:
a) ListBox mode
Set grid.ListBoxSelectionMode = SelectionMode.One, and also handle the grid.CurrentCellActivating event and just set e.ColIndex = 0 in your handler.

b) Check out also the sample

D:\Syncfusion\Essential Suite\Grid\Samples\Quick Start\HighlightCurrentRow (using PrepareViewStyleInfo)

Stephen,

i am using ListBoxSelectionMode to get the row select behavior into my GridControl. is it possible to get the row selection done with a different color? the default row select color is too dim and the row doesnt really appear selected.

The GridModelOptions.AlphaBlendSelectionColor property specifies the System.Drawing.Color for alpha blended cell selections. There you could change the color used for selections.

Hi Guys...

In a Virtual Grid, I put the code in to select the entire row and it works fine..but how do I programattically set the highlighted row to any visible row? how do I know what the top row is and the bottom row is and move the hightlight bar within the visible rows? Thanks.

Top visible row is this.grid.TopRowIndex.

Bottom visible row is this.grid.ViewLayout.LastVisibleRow.

To move the the current cell (hence the current row), you call this.grid.CurrentCell.MovetTo.
