Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type	Path to AllowFocusedRow
ASPxGridView	.SettingsBehavior .AllowFocusedRow
GridViewProperties	.SettingsBehavior .AllowFocusedRow

Remarks

If the AllowFocusedRow property is set to false, the focused row feature is disabled. In this instance, the ASPxGridView.FocusedRowIndex property’s value is always -1 and the ASPxGridView.FocusedRowChanged event isn’t raised. The style settings used to paint the focused row are not used. To identify the row currently being edited, use the ASPxGridView.EditingRowVisibleIndex property.

Note

• The AllowFocusedRow property value is always set to true for the ASPxGridLookup control.
• The AllowFocusedRow property is not in effect if cell merging is enabled.

The following example illustrates how to use the AllowFocusedRow property.

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="gridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="ads"
    KeyFieldName="CategoryID" ClientInstanceName="gridView" OnDataBound="gridView_DataBound" 
    OnFocusedRowChanged="gridView_FocusedRowChanged">
    <SettingsBehavior AllowFocusedRow="true" ProcessFocusedRowChangedOnServer="true" />
    <Columns>
    ...
    </Columns>
</dx:ASPxGridView>

MVC approach:

Razor

@Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings => {
    settings.Name = "GridView";
    settings.CallbackRouteValues = new { Controller = "Home", Action = "GridViewPartial" };
    settings.SettingsPager.PageSize = 5;

    settings.KeyFieldName = "EmployeeID";
    settings.Columns.Add("LastName");
    settings.Columns.Add("FirstName");
    settings.Columns.Add("City");
    settings.Columns.Add("Country");

    settings.PreRender = (s, e) =>
    {
        var sender = (MVCxGridView)s;
        // Set the zero-based index of the focused row. 
        sender.FocusedRowIndex = 6;
    };
    // Enable row focus. 
    settings.SettingsBehavior.AllowFocusedRow = true;
}).Bind(Model).GetHtml()
