Row- and Cell-Selection combined

[tkujawaParticipant]

Hey guys,

is it possible in some way to use cell and row selection combined? I´m working on a customer project and this behavior is required. The table should have a excel like feeling with the keyboard on cells so I set selectionmode: 'multiplecelladvanced'. Additonally it have to be possible to select a row via a checkbox in the first column. I tried some workarounds e.g. rowselect in cellendedit method but nothing worked. Also adding the classes jqx-grid-cell-selected jqx-fill-state-pressed didn’t work well, because if I scroll after this way of selecting the row, the selection disappears. Probably because the table doesn’t get the selection info intern.

I hope I explained my problem coherent. Any solutions from your side?

Thanks!

Hi tkujawa,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to combine selection modes.

Hi Peter,

thanks for your quick response! That’s a pity, but maybe I can build a little workaround for my case. I wrote the following to select a row respectively multiple rows if clicked the checkbox in my first column:

$('#myGrid').on('cellendedit', function (event) {
    var args = event.args;

    if ( args.datafield == "Selected" ) {
        if ( args.value == true ) {

            // Select row - Grid Core
            $('#myGrid').jqxGrid('selectrow', args.rowindex);

            var selectedRows = $('#myGrid').jqxGrid('getselectedrowindexes');

            // Select rows - UI
            _.each(selectedRows, function(value) {

               $('#myGrid').find('#row' + value + 'table-widget').find('.jqx-grid-cell').addClass('jqx-grid-cell-selected jqx-fill-state-pressed');

            });

        } else {
            // Nothing for the moment
        }
    }

});

The table still has selectionmode: 'multiplecellsadvanced' and this code works very well, but if I scroll or clicking somewhere else in the grid, the selection disappears and I don’t know which event is fired in this case. Could you please tell me the events or explain what’s happening on these actions? I feel pretty close to a passable workaround solution 🙂

Thanks and regards,
Timo

Hi Peter,

Suggest any alternative which can make sure of using check box selection mode as well as selecting the cell individually.
