Question

I am currently highlighting a row in a radgrid using OnMouseOver. I would like to know if it is possible to use OnMouseOver to select the row rather than highlight it.

Alternatively, I would like the highlighted row to remain highlighted if the radgrid loses focus, such as when a confirmation box pops up.

Thanks in advance.

According to Telerik documentation, it should be possible to select the item OnMouseOver using the following code (if you don’t have any detail tables you can nix the if statement and just use the code from the else block to find the currentDataItem):

function RadGrid1_RowMouseOver(sender, eventArgs) {
    var currentDataItem = null;

    // clear all currently selected items before selecting new
    sender.get_masterTableView().clearSelectedItems();

    if (eventArgs.get_itemIndexHierarchical().indexOf(':') > 0)
    {
        var detailTableIndex = eventArgs.get_itemIndexHierarchical().split(':')[0];
        var rowIndex = eventArgs.get_itemIndexHierarchical().split(':')[1].split('_')[1];
        currentDataItem = sender.get_detailTables()[detailTableIndex].get_dataItems()[rowIndex];
    }
    else
    {
        currentDataItem = sender.get_masterTableView().get_dataItems()[eventArgs.get_itemIndexHierarchical()];
    }

    if (currentDataItem != null)
    {
        currentDataItem.set_selected(true);
    }
}
