Selection in JavaScript (ES5) Tree Grid control

14 Apr 2021 / 8 minutes to read

Selection provides an option to highlight a row or a cell. It can be done through simple mouse down or arrow keys. To disable selection in TreeGrid, set the allowSelection to false.

The treegrid supports two types of selection that can be set by using the selectionSettings.type. They are:

  • Single: The Single value is set by default, and it only allows selection of a single row or a cell.
  • Multiple: Allows you to select multiple rows or cells. To perform the multi-selection, press and hold CTRL key and click the desired rows or cells. To select range of rows or cells, press and hold the SHIFT key and click the rows or cells.

  • By default, selection is allowed by clicking a treegrid row or checkbox in that row. To allow selection only through checkbox, you can set the selectionSettings.checkboxOnly property to true.
  • Selection can be persisted in all the operations using the selectionSettings.persistSelection property. For persisting selection on the treegrid, any one of the columns should be defined as a primary key using the columns.isPrimaryKey property.

Checkbox selection Mode

In checkbox selection, selection can also be done by clicking on rows. This selection provides two types of Checkbox Selection mode which can be set by using the following API, selectionSettings.checkboxMode. The modes are;

  • Default: This is the default value of the checkboxMode. In this mode, user can select multiple rows by clicking rows one by one.
  • ResetOnRowClick: In ResetOnRowClick mode, when user clicks on a row it will reset previously selected row. Also you can perform multiple-selection in this mode by press and hold CTRL key and click the desired rows. To select range of rows, press and hold the SHIFT key and click the rows.

When you tap a treegrid row on touchscreen device, the tapped row is selected. It also shows a popup Multi Row selection for multi-row selection. To select multiple rows or cells, tap the popup Multi Row or Cells and then tap the desired rows or cells.

Multi-selection requires the selection type to be multiple.
