Hi,

I would like to know if its possible to create a block selection of a single left click instead of having to perform a drag.

I tried something like this, but i’m not sure how to get the selected row and column. Any other solution would be good also.

This doesn’t select the right cell



    thegrid.attachEvent(“onBeforeSelect”,function(oldrow, newrow){

    var row = newrow;

var col = 3;

thegrid._HideSelection();

thegrid._CreateSelection(0,0);

        thegrid._ShowSelection();

        thegrid._selectionArea = thegrid._RedrawSelectionPos(

                    thegrid.cellByIndex(parseInt(row), parseInt(col)).cell,

                    thegrid.cellByIndex(parseInt(row), parseInt(col) ).cell);

        return false;

    });

    

Thank you,

-Alim

Your current solution works correctly, but immediately after that event, onclick event reaches grid, and grid hides block selection.
