13 Apr 20234 minutes to read

You can select the specific row in the grid based on a certain condition by using the selectRows method in the dataBound event of Grid.

In the below demo, we have selected the grid rows only when EmployeeID column value greater than 3.

index.js
index.html
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Page);
var selIndex = [];
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    allowPaging: true,
    selectionSettings: {type: "Multiple"},
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', isPrimaryKey: true, textAlign: 'Right', width: 100 },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 120 },
        { field: 'EmployeeID', headerText: 'Employee ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 150 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'Ship City',  width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'Ship Name',  width: 100 }
    ],
    height: 220,
    rowDataBound: function(args) {
        if (args.data['EmployeeID'] > 3) {
            selIndex.push(parseInt(args.row.getAttribute('aria-rowindex')));
        }
    },
    dataBound: function(args) {
        if (selIndex.length) {
            this.selectRows(selIndex);
            selIndex = [];
        }
    }
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
