select first row on client-server binding

[Elliott]

I am replacing the grid in an existing page with a RADGrid
the page has a lot of functionality in a Javascript function on a select
if there is only one row I need to select it
how do I invoke the client select function from the server?
I tried this (below) - the function is hooked up but it doesn't "find" any of the objects

Hello Marianne,

To achieve you goal, you can handle the OnGridCreated client-side event. There if sender.get_masterTableView().get_dataItems().length > 0, select the first item.
Chek it out and let me know if this works for you.

I implemented a handler for the OnMasterTableView

</MasterTableView>
<ClientSettings>
    <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
    <ClientEvents OnRowSelected="ItemsRowSelected" />
    <ClientEvents OnMasterTableViewCreated="MasterTableViewCreated" />
</ClientSettings>
</telerik:RadGrid>

function MasterTableViewCreated(sender, eventArgs) {
    var theGrid = sender.get_masterTableView();
    var kount = theGrid.get_dataItems().length;
    if (kount == 1) {
        theGrid.selectItem(theGrid.get_dataItems()[0].get_element());
    }
}
