mading multiple selection in advanced datagrid

[fivan]

Hi All

I'm new in Flex and AS3, so may be my problem is simple to solve but I need
help anyway.

I have to do the classic "Select All" button and apply it to an Advanced
Datagrid.
I have found in the help the "selectCell" method but when i try to use it in
my code it doesn't appear.

Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance.

hey.. use this property for ur Advanced datagrid..
selectionMode="multipleRows"

Ok, this property let the user select multiple rows.
But is it possible to simulate the multiple selection of the user via
scripting?
Something that causes the same effects of the click of the mouse.

use this kind of loop..

private function initApp():void {
application.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyHandler);
}

private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
var ctrlPressed:Boolean = event.ctrlKey;
// If the user presses Ctrl + A, select all chart items.
if (ctrlPressed) {
var curKeyCode:int = event.keyCode;
if (curKeyCode == 65) { // 65 is the keycode value for 'a'
selectItems();
}
}

private function selectItems():void {
// Create an array of all the Grid's Row.
var allSeries:Array =adgGrid.dataProvider.source;
// Iterate over each Row.
for (var i:int=0; i<allSeries.length; i++) {
var selectedData:Array = [];

// Iterate over the number of items in the series.
for (var j:int=0; j<adgGrid.dataProvider.length; j++) {
selectedData.push(j);
}
// Use the series' selectedIndices property to select all the
//Grid items.
allSeries[i].selectedIndices = selectedData;
}
}
