Inherits

  • activation

    Type:
    bool
    Default:
    true

    Enables / disables activation of rows and cells. Activation implies ability to perform navigating through cells and rows via the keyboard, and selecting rows and cells using CTRL / SHIFT - in the way cells/rows are selected in Ms Excel.

    Code Sample

     
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({

        $(".selector").igGridSelection("option", "activation", true);

  • mode

    Type:
    enumeration
    Default:
    row
