Obtaining Selected Rows in Syncfusion GridDataBoundGrid

Applies to TestComplete 15.45, last modified on December 01, 2022

When testing your application with the GridDataBoundGrid control, you may need to select multiple rows in a grid. Then, you may need to determine which rows are selected in the grid in order to process them a certain way. You can obtain the selected rows using the following statement:

GridObj.Selections.GetSelectedRows( true, false )

GridObj is the object corresponding to the GridDataBoundGrid control. The first parameter of the GetSelectedRows method (True) specifies that only whole selected rows should be returned by the method. The second parameter (False) specifies that the returned ranges collection should not include the current cell.

This method returns the GridRangeInfoList object representing the collection of selected row ranges. To get the number of ranges in the collection, use the Count property. The Item property lets you access GridRangeInfo objects corresponding to individual ranges by their zero-based indexes within the collection. To determine which grid rows belong to a particular range object, you can use the Top and Bottom properties that hold indexes of the topmost and the lower-most rows of the given range.

Note: In order for TestComplete to access the mentioned properties and methods of the GridDataBoundGrid control and its helper objects, the .NET Application Support plugin must be installed and enabled.

After you have determined the indexes of the selected grid rows, you can process the rows in a specific way. For example, you can iterate through them and obtain their cell values.

Below is an example that illustrates how you can process the selected rows in the GridDataBoundGrid control.

  // Get selected rows' indexes
