TreeGrid documentation

There can be more selected rows and cells in grid. Don't confuse selected and focused row. The focused row is the only row with cursor (FRow). See Focus cursor.
By default can be selected only whole rows, to permit selecting of individual cells or cell ranges set <Cfg SelectingCells='1'/>.
By default can be rows (and cells) selected by Ctrl+click, Shift+click, Space, Ctrl + drag, Panel Select click or drag.
To change default selecting behavior assign the selecting actions to different events.

By default is selection persistent. To clear selection after mouse click, add to action OnClickCell="... ,ClearSelection".
To permit only selected row at a time, add the ClearSelection before all selecting actions calls.

The selected rows can be deleted, moved or copied. They can be also sent to server.
The selected rows can be got by GetSelRows method and used for any custom task. To find out what cells are selected read Selected attribute of the cell.
<Cfg> bool

Selecting

[1]
If selecting rows or cells is permitted.
To control how rows and cells can be selected by a user, assign the selecting actions to appropriate events.
By default is permitted selecting rows but not selecting cells and columns <Cfg Selecting='1' SelectingCells='0' ColSelecting='0'/>.
<Cfg> bool

SelectingText

[0]
If text selection in grid (standard browser behavior) by mouse is permitted.
To let a user to select text, there also must not be any drag action possible for the cell, otherwise the drag action is done.
If it is 1, there can be unwanted selection blinking during grid dragging and selection actions!
If it is 1, there can be problem in Firefox in dragging column caption for grouping, add <Header OnMouseDown='1'/> to solve it!
new 6.0 <Cfg> bool

SelectClass

[0]
If set to 1, selected cells can be highlighted also by CSS class attributes like color or font, defined in GxColorSelected CSS class in Grid.css.
If set to 0, selected cells are highlighted only by background color.
It is used for SelectingCells, selected rows are always highlighted by CSS class.
The value 1 can slow down selecting cells.
new 12.1 <Cfg> bool

SelectingCells

[0]
If selecting individual cells or cells ranges is permitted and how it affects row and column selecting. It is disabled by default!

0No individual cells can be selected. Only whole rows or whole columns can be selected.
The rows and columns can have set Selected = 1 or 0, if they are selected or unselected.
 
1Shared cell and row/column selecting. Individual cells can be selected. Selecting row or columns selects all its cells.
The row has set Selected = 0, if it contains no cell selected.
The row has set Selected = 1, if it contains all cells selected.
The row has set Selected = 2, if it contains some cells selected and some unselected. And the selected individual cells have set its own Selected = 1 attribute.
The column has never set its Selected attribute in this case. Selecting or unselecting the whole column changes all rows Selected attributes and all cells Selected attributes.
 
2Only cell selecting. (Since 11.0, changed 12.0) Like 1, but row has never set Selected = 1 for all cells selected.
The row has set Selected = 0, if it contains no cell selected.
The row has set Selected = 2, if it contains some or all cells selected. And the selected individual cells have set its own Selected = 1 attribute.
The column has never set its Selected attribute in this case. Selecting or unselecting the whole column changes all rows Selected attributes and all cells Selected attributes.
 
3Independent cell and row/column selecting. (Since 12.0)
The individual cells can be selected or unselected independently on the whole row and column selection state.
The row has set Selected = 0, if it is not selected and has also no selected individual cells.
The row has set Selected = 1, if it is selected and has no selected individual cells.
The row has set Selected = 2, if it is unselected and contains some or all cells selected. The selected individual cells have set its own Selected = 1 attribute.
The row has set Selected = 3, if the row is selected and also has some or all its cell are selected.
The column has set its Selected to 1 or 0, if it is selected or unselected, regardless on selection state of its individual cells.
 
4Independent cell and row/column selecting, but shared functionality. (Since 15.0)
The Selected attribute are set the same as in 3.
All the cell ranges actions set the column or row attribute instead of individual cells if the column or row is selected.
new 11.0 upd 15.0 <Cfg> int

SelectingFocus

toprow / bottomrow are the TRow object, leftcol / rightcol are the column names of the range edges.
rowpos / colpos (new 11.0) are numbers as row / column position of top left corner of the range from grid top left corner. The rowpos includes only iterated rows due rowtype.
rowcount / colcount (new 11.0) are numbers as row / column count in the range. The rowcount includes only iterated rows due rowtype.
rowtype: 1 - ignores collapsed children (they need not be selected), 2 - separates ranges per root pages, 3 = 1+2
coltype (since 11.0): 0 - separates ranges per column page and section, 1 - separates ranges per column section (left/mid/right), 2 - does not separate ranges horizontally.

Otherwise it selects continuous range of cells between [row1,col1] [row2,col2].
If row1 is null, it is the first selectable variable row, if row2 is null, it is the last selectable variable row. If col1 is null, it is the first selectable column, if col2 is null, it is the last selectable column.
The first point [row1,col1] need not be the top left point.
select = 0 - unselects range, 1 - selects range, null (since 12.0) or 2 - unselects range if cell [row1,col1] is selected, otherwise selects the range.
type = bit array, &1 - selects only visible rows, &2 - ignores children of collapsed rows.
Since 12.0 returns count of affected rows or cells.
(since 12.0) for test = 1 does not change anything, just return the count of rows or cells that would be affected.
