select entire row via click

[ulaoMember]

So I need some common spread sheet events added here. Like selecting rows, columns, and the entire sheet. The only way I see this possible is to use events and then make the selections. I would need to get access the to outer cells. For example this would be one way.

$(“#jqxgrid”).on(“rowclick”, function (event) {
var args = event.args;
var row = args.rowindex;
if (args.column == //null or -1 ? )
$(‘#jqxgrid’).jqxGrid(‘selectrow’, args.rowindex);
});

problem here is I can’t get access the the column? args.column is undefined. I dont want the row to get selected merely by clicking anywhere on the row, only the cell header click should do this. Also $(‘#jqxgrid’).jqxGrid(‘selectrow’, args.rowindex); does not seem to work, did I use that wrong?

also I get for events fired per one click, is it firing one for each row?

I just did a each on the events.args and there is a lot of data here not exposed like rightclick(bool) for example. How is one to learn about this if its not in the documentation?

Hi ulao,

The rows selection is the default selection mode so you do not have to set the “selectionmode” property when you initialize the Grid.

No that is no good, please reread. I need to find a way to click a “header” not a row. So take this for example

0abcd
1xxxx
2xxxx
3xxxx

I need to be able to click on C and all x’s under C will be selected, also clicking 0 will select all x’s, and lastly clicking 1 will select all x’s in that row. I also need the multi drag and select. “multiplecellsadvanced” mode. So, since I can not have more then one mode I need to invent this.

See above for my way of achieving this. It works but I need more data. When clicking on the row header the event is fired. However clicking on any item in that row also fires and that is no good. So I need to check what column i’m on to do this. Unless you can think of another way.
