Hi James,
You can use the Grid APIs to select and deselect rows. To clear the current selection, call
clearSelection. And then call
grid.select($(e.target).closest('tr')) to select the clicked row if the click was inside the rows list. This is especially recommended if you are using the
persist selection feature.
As for the context menu, did you manage to get is working as needed, too or do you need help with showing it in the empty area? If you need help, please show us the code you have until now for creating and showing the context menu.
Regards,
