Programmatically selecting cells of an existing grid-view

Overview

Instead of setting the selected cells of a grid-view upon creation, if you wish to change the selection of cells of a grid-view that already exists, this article will help you to do so programmatically.

Information

You can programmatically change the selected cells of an existing grid view using either of the following two system procedures: 

1. g2-ui-grid-view-replace-cell
2. g2-ui-grid-view-modify-cell

For instance, the procedure below demonstrates how to select cells 0,0 to 3,3 in an existing grid view: 

test( win: item-or-value )
X: Integer;
Y: Integer;
begin
  for X = 0 to 3 do
    for Y = 0 to 3 do
      call g2-ui-grid-view-modify-cell(
         the returned-dialog-id of grid-view,
         the symbol my-sole-grid-view,
         X, Y,
         structure( selected: true ),
         win
      );
    end;
  end;
end
