Yeah, looks like that was my mistake.  A way to accomplish that would be to get the index off of a column that you found by the key.

int index = this.WebDataGrid1.Columns["key"].Index;

GridRecordItem cell = this.WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.Selection.SelectedRows[0].Items[index];

When I use row.Items to access rows on the server there is only a method constructor to enter a column index number - row.items[0].  It doesn't allow me to enter a key - row.Items["key"]. 

Excellent! thanks.

I now have a button on my form that uses javascript to open a window based on the selected row in my WebDatGrid. Thanks!

Now, when I return focus to my original window, the WDG is empty (shows nothing)

anything I should/could do in js to ensure the grid (data) remains visible?

my button, and js are:

<asp:Button ID="OpenViewButton" Text="Open" width="80px" runat="server"  OnClientClick="OpenHDWindow()" />

<script type="text/javascript">

function OpenHDWindow() {

var viewid = 0;

var grid = $find('<%= WebDataGrid1.ClientID %>');

if (grid == null) {

alert(

"Could not locate grid.");

return false;

}

var selectedRows = grid.get_behaviors().get_selection().get_selectedRows();

var row = selectedRows.getItem(0);

if (row == null) {

alert(

"no row selected");

return false;

}

var col = row.get_cell(0);

viewid = col.get_value();

var url = 'DashboardHD.aspx?vid=';

url += viewid;

// set up to open in new window

var params = "fullscreen=yes, scrollbars=no";

newwin = window.open(url,

'Hit F11 to Maximize', params);

if (window.focus) { newwin.focus() }

return false;

}

</script>

Mike,

This should be fairly simple to accomplish what you need.

To get the selected rows collection on the client, do the following

var grid = $find("GridId");

var selectedRows = grid.get_behaviors().get_selection().get_selectedRows();

var firstRow = selectedRows.getItem(0);

From there, you should be able to follow the code in my other post.  If you need to know how to get a column, you can do grid.get_columns().get_column(0), grid.get_columns().get_columnByKey("firstKey")

This should get you rolling.  Let us know if you need further help.

Hi,

I have a similar need, I'm writing javascript to get the ID of the selected row (ID is the first column in my WebDataGrid).

Your examples above will help, once I figure out how to get the selected row from the WDG.

(the WDG is configured to only allow 1 row selected at a time)

Can you help?

Mike
