Programmatically Selecting the Highlighted Item

[Mike]

Hi Guys,

How do I programmatically select the highlighted item?

We have implemented buttons on our grid.  Please refer to http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/gridview/radmenuitem-in-radgridview-events.aspx for the code.

Currently the user must select the row before they can click the button.  We have added code to the mouseover the change the radgrid icon and button color.

 

 void lblLabel_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.gvManageDocs.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
            ((RadLabelElement)sender).ForeColor = Color.Red;
        }

 

 

What I would like to do is when the user hovers over a button to auto select the row so they only have to click once to activate the button.

How do I do that?

Hello Mike,

Thank you for the question.

In order to get to the desired behavior, please consider using the following code snippet:

void lblLabel_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radGridView1.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
    ((RadLabelElement)sender).ForeColor = Color.Red;
    ((GridDataRowElement)((RadLabelElement)sender).Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent).RowInfo.IsSelected = true;
    this.radGridView1.GridElement.Update(GridUINotifyAction.StateChanged);
}

By the Parent property of the RadLabelElement we get the GridViewRowElement. Then we take its RowInfo and set its IsSelected to true. Finally, we call the Update method in order to get the UI updated.

Contact me, if you need additional assistance.

All the best,
