Row selection​

Community

Enable row-selection controls in the leading row indicator:

FdcGrid(
  dataSet: customers,
  rowIndicator: const FdcGridRowIndicator(
    visible: true,
    options: FdcGridRowIndicatorOptions(
      showRecordStatus: true,
      showRowNumbers: true,
      showRowSelect: true,
    ),
  ),
)

Row selection is distinct from the dataset current record. A grid can keep a current row for navigation and editing while multiple rows are selected for a batch operation.

Use the dataset selection API for application commands:

dataSet.selection.selectCurrent();
dataSet.selection.unselectCurrent();
dataSet.selection.toggleCurrent();

final selectedCustomers = dataSet.selection.rows();

rows() returns value snapshots, making it suitable for export and batch-action workflows without exposing mutable dataset internals.

Range selection​

Pro

FdcProGrid can also enable rectangular cell ranges for copy, paste, context-menu, and single-value fill workflows. This is a separate interaction model from record selection.

See Range Selection for configuration and behavior details.
