SetSelection Method (DefaultSheetSelectionModel)

Selects the cells in the specified range.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Sub SetSelection( _
   ByVal row As Integer, _
   ByVal column As Integer, _
   ByVal rowCount As Integer, _
   ByVal columnCount As Integer _
)

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DefaultSheetSelectionModel
Dim row As Integer
Dim column As Integer
Dim rowCount As Integer
Dim columnCount As Integer
 
instance.SetSelection(row, column, rowCount, columnCount)

public override void SetSelection( 
   int row,
   int column,
   int rowCount,
   int columnCount
)

Parameters

row: Row index of the first cell
column: Column index of the first cell
rowCount: Number of rows to add to the first cell to define the selection
columnCount: Number of columns to add to the first cell to define the selection

Remarks

Use this method to specify the anchor (first cell in a selection) and the number of rows and columns to include in the selection. Alternatively, you can set the selection by setting two numbers, the anchor (or first cell) and the extent (or farthest cell). Specify the anchor by using the SetAnchor method (or AnchorRow and AnchorColumn properties). Specify the extent by using the ExtendSelection method (or LeadRow and LeadColumn properties). Between (and including) the anchor and the extent is the selection or selected range of cells.

Example

This example returns an ordered array of CellRange objects, from largest to smallest, containing the selected cells with minimal overlap between the ranges.

FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.DefaultSheetSelectionModel ds = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.DefaultSheetSelectionModel();
ds.SelectionPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.SelectionPolicy.MultiRange;
ds.SelectionUnit = FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.SelectionUnit.Cell;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Models.Selection = ds;
ds.SetSelection(0, 0, 2, 2);
ds.AddSelection(3, 0, 2, 2);
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange[] cr;
cr = ds.GetSelections(10, 5);
MessageBox.Show(cr[0].ColumnCount.ToString());

Visual Basic

Dim ds As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.DefaultSheetSelectionModel
ds.SelectionPolicy = FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.SelectionPolicy.MultiRange
ds.SelectionUnit = FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.SelectionUnit.Cell
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Models.Selection = ds
ds.SetSelection(0, 0, 2, 2)
ds.AddSelection(3, 0, 2, 2)
Dim cr As FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange()
cr = ds.GetSelections(10, 5)
MessageBox.Show(cr(0).ColumnCount.ToString())
