Detect Selected Rows

[mikep]

I'm iterating the grid rows and updating the row, if it is currently selected.
-How do I determine if the row is currently selected?
-Is below the best way to iterate/update specific rows in the grid?

                var data = $gridMain.pqGrid('getData');

                for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                    if ( //how to determine if row is selected??) {
                                $gridMain.pqGrid('updateRow', { checkEditable: false, rowIndx: i, row: { [key]:newvalue } });
                    }
                }

Assuming selectionModel.type = 'row', selected rows have pq_rowselect property set to true.

BTW it's not good to call updateRow in a loop for performance reasons, rather rowList could be prepared in a loop and updateRow method be called once.

https://paramquery.com/pro/api#method-updateRow (update multiple rows at once.)

Thanks, Are you able to update the example below to show this?

Please give it a try and let me know if you face any difficulty.

Code: [Select]

selectionModel: {type: 'row'}


Code: [Select]

if( data[i].pq_rowselect ){ //row is selected.
  //construct the rowList.
}

Multiple rows update at once example is there in the API:

Thanks.  I need to understand how to construct the rowList based on the data index. The updateRow is not updating the correct row for me when when I have the grid grouped, so seeing a working example in the JSFiddle file I sent would help me.

No problem, please check this: https://jsfiddle.net/ntkmosa3/

I've used grid SelectRow API to get selected rows.

Thanks! If I want to iterate all rows and not just the selected rows, how would this line change?

var allRows= grid.SelectRow().getSelection();

[paramvir]

Code: [Select]

var allRows= grid.pageData();


[mikep]

Changing the selectionModel to { type: 'row' }, doesn't help because I need the cell drag and fill, copy and paste, and delete capability. Can you update the function 'UpdateSelectedRows' in the example below, if the selectionModel is not 'row'?

In that case, we can use eachRow method of Selection object.

Code: [Select]

grid.Selection().eachRow(function(rowData, rowIndx){
   rowList.push({
     rowIndx: rowIndx,
     newRow: {company: 'ABC'}
   })
})

Any idea why I get this error? Code seems identical to this example. https://jsfiddle.net/h02gs4Lk/

https://paramquery.com/pro/api#method-Range

API states that eachRow method is available since v8.0.0

Thanks for quick reply. It works great!

I'm updating all my code to account for this.
-what's the best way to get a count of selected rows now? (I'm creating a counter and iterating the foreach, not sure if there's a better way.)
-what the best way to reference the selected row, if the count is 1. (I'm using the foreaach, even though only 1 record, not sure if there's a better way)

--new code
                var selCount = 0;
                grid.Selection().eachRow(function (rowData, rowIndx) {
                    selCount += 1;
                })

--old code
                var grid = $gridMain.pqGrid('instance');
                var selection = grid.SelectRow().getSelection();

                if (selection.length > 1) {
                    showNotify("Only 1 row in the grid can be selected.");
                }
                else if (selection.length == 1) {
                        DoAction(selection[0].rowData)
                }

[paramvir]

1. It's correct to count the no of selected rows.

2.

Code: [Select]

grid.Selection().eachRow(function (rowData, rowIndx) {
     //rowData is reference to each selected row.
 })
