Introduction
I spent some time trying to find a way to simulate FullRowSelect
on a DataGrid
, and couldn't really see any obvious way of doing it (all the solutions I tried were pretty complicated, and crashed half of the time), but after a while, it hit me that you could use JavaScript. All you need to do is:
protected void nameOfGridView View_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.cursor='hand'");
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:__doPostBack" +
"('nameOfGridView '"
+ ", 'Select$" + e.Row.RowIndex + "')");
}
}
Just add this method to the RowDataBound
Delegate for your DataGrid
, and replace nameOfGridView
with the name of your GridView
. That's all, easy!
