Ok, so client side answer is posted on webheirarchialdatagrid samples under selection.  But it wasn't there yesterday, was it, or am I going crazy?

Hi Lill,

In case you still want the answer, on the client side you can do the following:

 var WHDG = ig_controls["WebHierarchicalDataGrid1"];
var gridView = WHDG.get_gridView();
var selection = gridView.get_behaviors().get_selection();
var selectedCells = selection.get_selectedCellsResolved();

There are similar function for gettting selected rows and columns on the client as well.  On the server side the easiest way would be to handle the CellSelectionChanged event, that way you'll know when selection is changing and  the event args will give you an easy access to the selected cell or cells.

Thanks,

Olga

Thanks Olga!

Is there any official documentation on these functions and methods?  These method names are not intuitive.  Also, I am pretty much starting out with the Akido controls so don't have prior experience with earlier versions of ig controls if the methods are the same .

I am getting my info from analysing the code in the akido samples and searching the forums.  But the forums generally assume a prior knowlege which I dont have or the solutions leave out a step, etc. 

Can't wait to really learn how to use these controls because they are fantastic.

Thanks for your help so far. I have got what I need from selection on the client side.

Having trouble on the server side.

What I would like to do is to loop through the rows and columns and check for isSelected.  Don't want to do it on selection changed event , but as the result of a postback after a button is clicked on the page.

I would like the code for both isRowSelected and for isItemSelected on the server side, 

I would like the code for the server for the webdatagrid control as well.

I couldnt figure it out from the online documentation.
