SpreadsheetControl.SetSelectedRanges(IList<Range>) Method
Selects multiple ranges in the active worksheet.
Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet
Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet.v19.1.dll
Declaration
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
ranges | IList<Range> | A list of the Range objects. |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
Boolean | true if cell ranges are selected successfully; otherwise false. If you pass null (Nothing in Visual Basic), or an empty list, or a list that contains at least one cell range located in a worksheet other than the active worksheet, the method returns false. |
Remarks
The image below illustrates the use of the SpreadsheetControl.SetSelectedRanges method to select multiple non-adjacent ranges. The SpreadsheetControl.SelectedCell sets the selected (active) cell that gets user input. Note that if a cell outside the selected ranges was assigned to the SelectedCell property, selected ranges would be reset so that the active cell becomes the only selected range in the worksheet.
Note
A complete sample project is available at https://github.com/DevExpress-Examples/wpf-spreadsheetcontrol-examples-e4975.
static void SetSelectedRanges(SpreadsheetControl control)
{
control.BeginUpdate();
Worksheet worksheet = control.ActiveWorksheet;
Range r1 = worksheet.Range["A1:B10"];
Range r2 = worksheet.Range["E12"];
Range r3 = worksheet.Range["D4:E7"];
List<Range> rlist = new List<Range>() { r1, r2, r3 };
control.SetSelectedRanges(rlist);
control.SelectedCell = worksheet.Cells["E5"];
control.EndUpdate();
}
End-users can select multiple ranges if the SpreadsheetSelectionOptions.AllowMultiSelection option is true. This option is accessible via the SpreadsheetControl.Options.Behavior.AllowMultiSelection notation.
Note
To select ranges in a specific worksheet (which may or may not be active) of the document loaded in the SpreadsheetControl, use the Worksheet.SetSelectedRanges method of the worksheet object.
