[Solved] RadGrid Selected Item Issue

[Meghna]

I have an requirement of selecting the first item/row of the RadGrid selected on client side. I have used following code snippet:--

var masterTable = $find("<%=RadGrid1.ClientID%>").get_masterTableView();
var dataItem = masterTable.get_dataItems()[0];
dataItem.set_selected(true);

But somehow it is not working. Do i need to set some property of the RadGrid. I am getting the follwoing java script error:--

this._owner._owner._selection is null

Can any one help me?

Hello Meghna,

To avoid the javascript error that you get you would have to set the AllowRowSelect property of the grid to true as shown below:
aspx:

 <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server">
   <MasterTableView DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
    <ClientSettings>
       <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
    </ClientSettings>

Thanks
Princy.

Hello Meghna,

I was able to replicate the issue you mentioned, in order to avoid it you need to add AllowRowSelect property to true as shown bellow.
ASPX:

<ClientSettings>
    <ClientEvents OnGridCreated="GridCreated" />
    <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
</ClientSettings>

Additionally, I am sending you a small runnable application that demonstrates the needed approach.
Give it a try and see if it works for you.

Kind regards,

Nice,

I had the same problem it works here to now. But this message is to every one, download the project and you see that there is a little javascript inside. You need to use it as well to get it working.

Thanks for posting a project Pavlina.
