DxGrid.SelectRow(Int32, Boolean) Method

Selects or deselects a row with the specified visible index.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public void SelectRow(
    int visibleIndex,
    bool selected = true
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
visibleIndex	Int32	The row’s visible index.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
selected	Boolean	True	true to select the row; false to deselect the row.

Remarks

The following methods allow you to manage Grid selection:

• SelectRow (DeselectRow)
• SelectRows (DeselectRows)
• SelectDataItem (DeselectDataItem)
• SelectDataItems (DeselectDataItems)
• SelectAllOnPage (DeselectAllOnPage)
• SelectAllAsync (DeselectAllAsync)
• ClearSelection

Call the SelectRow method and pass a row’s visible index to select that row. The method’s behavior depends on the SelectionMode property value:

• In multiple selection mode, the method keeps the previously selected rows and adds the specified row to selection. To access data items that correspond to selected rows, implement two-way binding for the SelectedDataItems property or handle the SelectedDataItemsChanged event.
• In single selection mode, the method changes selection to the specified row. To access a data item that corresponds to the selected row, implement two-way binding for the SelectedDataItem property or handle the SelectedDataItemChanged event.

Note

When the Grid calculates visible indexes, it counts data rows and group rows. However, only data rows can be selected.

The Grid bound to an Instant Feedback Data Source or GridDevExtremeDataSource loads data asynchronously in small portions (instead of the entire dataset). Before you call the SelectRow method, call the WaitForRemoteSourceRowLoadAsync(Int32) method to ensure that the specified data row is loaded.

To deselect a row by its visible index, do any of the following:

• Call the DeselectRow(Int32) method.
• Call the SelectRow method and pass false as the second parameter.

Tip

When you call SelectRow or DeselectRow method, the component sends a callback and redraws the grid. If you select or deselect several rows, for instance, in cycle, it can reduce overall performance. We recommend that you call the SelectRows or DeselectRows method instead to avoid unnecessary callbacks and redraws.

The following example selects and deselects a row whose visible index is 0:
