Tree Grid supports two types of selection which can be set using SelectionSettings->Type property. They are,

• Single - Enabled by default. Allows the user to select single row/cell at a time.
• Multiple - Allows the user to select more than one row/cell at a time.

Also, supports three modes of selection which can be set using SelectionSettings->Mode property. They are,

• Row - Enabled by default. Enables the row selection in Tree Grid.
• Cell - Enables the cell selection in Tree Grid.
• Both - Enables both the row and cell selection in Tree Grid. Clicking any cell will select the both row and cell simultaneously.

The Tree Grid supports two types of cell selection mode that can be set by using the SelectionSettings->CellSelectionMode property. They are,

• Flow - The Flow value is set by default. The range of cells are selected between the start index and end index that includes in between cells of rows.
