[Solved] RadGrid First Row selection

[Raj Kumar]

Hi ,

When user changes from one page to another page, i want the first row in the new page to be selected.
How to do this?

I tried following.

RadGrid page index changed event  i did the follwoing.

Radgrid1.MasterTableView.Items[0].Selected = true;

But thsi is not working. It is selecting first item in the first page and not the new page.

Can any one please help.

Regards,
Raj

Hello Raj Kumar,

The reason you are not getting your first item selected is because RadGrid's PageIndexChanged event is fired before rebinding RadGrid. When RadGrid is rebound, the selected items indexes are cleared. Therefore, you need to select your first item after databinding (e.g. in RadGrid.DataBound):

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.PageIndexChanged += new GridPageChangedEventHandler(RadGrid1_PageIndexChanged);
    RadGrid1.DataBound += new EventHandler(RadGrid1_DataBound);
}

bool selectFirstItem = false;

void RadGrid1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (selectFirstItem)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[0].Selected = true;
    }
}

void RadGrid1_PageIndexChanged(object source, GridPageChangedEventArgs e)
{
    selectFirstItem = true;
}
