[Solved] select rows from code

[JungTae]

Hello telerik team, I am trying to do something like


 foreach(GridViewRow row in myTelerikRadGridView.Rows)
{
    /*code*/
}

but there it's a property for selecting rows. I am using  .NET 3.5 SP1 if that helps you find a solution for me

Hello JungTae,

You may use the property of GridViewRow - IsSelected. All rows of the grid can be found either by the extension method ChildrenOfType<GridViewRow>() or using the ItemContainerGenerator of the grid.

//Option 1:
var rows = this.clubsGrid.ChildrenOfType<GridViewRow>();

foreach (GridViewRow row in rows)
{
    row.IsSelected = true;
}
//Option 2:
foreach (Club item in this.clubsGrid.Items)
{
    (this.clubsGrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(item) as GridViewRow).IsSelected = true;
}

//Club is the type of the items inside the grid in this case.

However, if you need more than one rows to be selected, you need to set the SelectionMode property to either "Extended" or "Multiple". 

 

Kind regards,

Option #1 did not work because my intellisense did not show ChildrenOfType property.
Options #2 did workout great though, thanks for your help Maya!

Hello JungTae,

I am glad that the proposed solution worked for your case. As for the first option, you need to add reference to Telerik.Windows.Controls (using Telerik.Windows.Controls;) in the class where you want to use the ChildrenOfType<> method. You may find further reference for this method in this blog post.
