selectitem row when click on GridHyperLinkColumn or GridTemplateColumn

Requirement:  When GridHyperLinkColumn is clicked, I want the row to be selected.
I have  <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" /> already but that doesn't select row when the link in HyperLinkColumn is clicked.
I can't add OnClick to GridHyperLinkColumn so I made a GridTemplateColumn and used <asp:hyperlink> instead which I could call a javascript with onClick.    However I do not know how to pass the current row index to the Row_Select function that I got from another post.

ClientEvent OnRowClick="RowClick" doesn't fire when clicked on the hyperlink either.

        <telerik:RadScriptBlock  runat="server">
            <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
                function Row_Select(arg) {
                  var mt = $find("<%# RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
                  var row = mt.get_dataItems()[arg];
                  mt.selectItem(row.get_element());
              }

              function RowClick(sender, eventArgs) {
                  var mt = $find("<%# RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
                  var row = mt.get_dataItems()[eventArgs.get_itemIndexHierarchical()];
                  mt.selectItem(row.get_element());
              }
            </script>
        </telerik:RadScriptBlock >

Hello Lenny,

You can pass the index from code behind in the ItemDataBound event as shown below.

Code behind:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            HyperLink hLink = (HyperLink)item.FindControl("HyperLink1");
            hLink.NavigateUrl = "#";
            hLink.Attributes.Add("onclick", "selectMe('"+item.ItemIndex+"');");
        }
    }

And in the client side:

    function selectMe(index) {
        alert(index);
        var mt = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
        var row = mt.get_dataItems()[index];
        row.set_selected(true);
    }
