GridView.SelectRow(Int32) Method

Selects the specified row.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v22.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Grid

Declaration

C#

public override void SelectRow(
    int rowHandle
)

VB.NET

Public Overrides Sub SelectRow(
    rowHandle As Integer
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
rowHandle	Int32	An integer value which specifies the row handle of the row to select.

Remarks

The SelectRow method selects the specified row and adds it to the current selection. If multiple selection is disabled (the ColumnViewOptionsSelection.MultiSelect option is set to false) the SelectRow method does nothing.

Example

The following code shows how to select rows that contain “Mexico” in the Country column and copy data from these rows.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraGrid;
using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns;
using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base;

ColumnView view = gridControl1.MainView as ColumnView;
GridColumn colCountry = view.Columns["Country"];
GridColumn colCompany = view.Columns["CompanyName"];
if (colCountry == null || colCompany == null) return;

// Enable multiple row selection mode.
view.OptionsSelection.MultiSelect = true;
view.ClearSelection();
int rowHandle = -1;
// Select rows that contain 'Mexico' in the Country column.
while (rowHandle != GridControl.InvalidRowHandle) {
    rowHandle = view.LocateByDisplayText(rowHandle + 1, colCountry, "Mexico");
    view.SelectRow(rowHandle);
}
int[] selectedRowHandles = view.GetSelectedRows();
if (selectedRowHandles.Length > 0) {
    // Move focus to the first selected row.
    view.FocusedRowHandle = selectedRowHandles[0];
    // Copy the selection to the clipboard
    view.CopyToClipboard();
    // Copy the selected company names to a Memo editor.
    memoEdit1.Text = "";
    for (int i = 0; i < selectedRowHandles.Length; i++)
        memoEdit1.Text += view.GetRowCellDisplayText(selectedRowHandles[i], colCompany) + "\r\n";
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid
Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns
Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base

Dim view As ColumnView = CType(GridControl1.MainView, ColumnView)
Dim colCountry As GridColumn = view.Columns("Country")
Dim colCompany As GridColumn = view.Columns("CompanyName")
If colCountry Is Nothing OrElse colCompany Is Nothing Then Return
'Enable multiple row selection mode.
view.OptionsSelection.MultiSelect = True
view.ClearSelection()
Dim rowHandle As Integer = -1
'Select rows that contain 'Mexico' in the Country column.
While rowHandle <> GridControl.InvalidRowHandle
    rowHandle = view.LocateByDisplayText(rowHandle + 1, colCountry, "Mexico")
    view.SelectRow(rowHandle)
End While

Dim selectedRowHandles As Integer() = view.GetSelectedRows()

If selectedRowHandles.Length > 0 Then
    'Move focus to the first selected row.
    view.FocusedRowHandle = selectedRowHandles(0)
    'Copy the selection to the clipboard
    view.CopyToClipboard()
    'Copy the selected company names to a Memo editor.
    MemoEdit1.Text = ""
    For i As Integer = 0 To selectedRowHandles.Length - 1
        MemoEdit1.Text += view.GetRowCellDisplayText(selectedRowHandles(i), colCompany) & vbCrLf
    Next
