Hi, Ron,

From my experience, I believe that the requirement to select a row on load is not always the same - i.e. it is not always the first row that others want selected.

In my opinion, it would be more flexible to have a property that accepts a selector so that way if using multiple select, you could use it, too. What do you think about something like:

// single selection
GridBuilder.Selectable(selectable => selectable.Mode(GridSelectionMode.Single).SelectOnLoad("tr:eq(0)")

// OR
GridBuilder.Selectable(selectable => selectable.Mode(GridSelectionMode.Single).SelectOnLoad(".some-class-name")

// multiple selection
GridBuilder.Selectable(selectable => selectable.Mode(GridSelectionMode.Single).SelectOnLoad("tr:eq(0), tr:eq(3)")

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi, Ron,

Dependent on the desired selection (cell or row), you can achieve that by adding the "k-state-selected" class to the column or to the row conditionally.

For the row, you can implement a ClientRowTemplate like this:

           .Columns(columns =>
           {
               columns.Bound(p => p.OrderID);
           })
            .ClientRowTemplate("<tr data-uid='#: uid #' class='#=OrderID %2 == 0 ? 'k-state-selected': ''#'>" +
                "<td class='details'> #: OrderID # </td>" +
                 "</tr>")

The cell configuration on the other hand would look like this:

columns.Bound(p => p.OrderID).HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "#=OrderID %2 == 0 ? 'k-state-selected': ''#"});

In case you had something else in mind, can you please advise how you imagine its implementation and functionality, for instance what would pseudo code for it look like?
