Selected Rows and Columns

[Oscar Zapata]

Hello To Everybody:

How Can I get the index of a row and a colum in the gridview???

Please Help me

Hello Oscar Zapata,

You can get the index of a data item through the Items property of the grid. For example, to get the index of the currently selected item you should do this:

var selectedIndex = this.radGridView.Items.IndexOf(this.radGridView.SelectedItem);

Row indices should not be used since RadGridView uses virtualization and shows only a small part of the data. In other words a finite set of rows is reused and recycled to show many different data items when you are scrolling up and down. So our advice is to use the Items property. You can also check the Selection online example out.

In case you cannot, could you please elaborate about what is your exact goal and why do you need to know row indices. In other words we will need to know more about what you are trying to achieve so we can come up with a way to show you how.

And for columns you can do something like this:

var columnIndex = this.radGridView.Columns.IndexOf(this.radGridView.CurrentCell.Column);

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Best wishes,
Ross
