selecting a row by code does not fire SelectedIndexChanged

[Hubert]

Hello telerik team,

selecting a row by code (JavaScript or code behind) does not fire the event SelectedIndexChanged.
The event is fired by clicking the row with the mouse, but not by code.

Example:

var mt = findGrid().get_masterTableView();
if(mt) {
  mt.clearSelectedItems();
  mt.selectItem(mt.get_dataItems()[1].get_element());
}

The item is selected but the event isn't fired.
EnablePostBackOnRowClick is enabled.

Greetings

Hi Hubert,

Could you please try the following approach and let me know about the result?

mt.get_dataItems()[1].get_element().click();

That should do the trick.

I was looking for a similar approach to cause the "SelectedIndexChanged" server-side event to fire from the client.  In my case, this solution does not work for Safari 5.1.  Is there another way to cause the "SelectedIndexChanged" event to fire from the client side?

Solution Found.
The solution I found was to use "fireCommand".  http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-gridtableview-firecommand.html
