    endColumn As GridColumn
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
startRowHandle	Int32	An integer value that specifies the handle of the row containing the cell that identifies the starting point of the selection.
startColumn	GridColumn	A GridColumn object that represents the column containing the cell that identifies the starting point of the selection.
endRowHandle	Int32	An integer value that specifies the handle of the row containing the cell that identifies the end point of the selection.
endColumn	GridColumn	A GridColumn object that represents the column containing the cell that identifies the ending point of the selection.

Remarks

The SelectCells method allows you to select multiple cells, adding them to the existing selection (if any). In this case, the method’s parameters determine the block’s starting and ending edges, respectively.

The SelectCells method does nothing if the DataViewBase.NavigationStyle property isn’t set to GridViewNavigationStyle.Cell and/or the TableView.MultiSelectMode property isn’t set to TableViewSelectMode.Cell.

To select a single cell, use the TableView.SelectCell method.
