Initial selected object of list grid

Technical Q&A
1

Hello,

Is there a way to set the initial selected row of a list grid in the initial JavaScript constructor of the list grid? I´m looking for something like a hypothetical parameter “selectedRecord”.

Example:

isc.ListGrid.create({
    ID: "countryList",
    width:500, height:224, alternateRecordStyles:true,
    selectedRecord: 3, //**** hypothetical parameter selectedRecord
    data: countryData,
    fields:[
        {name:"countryCode", title:"Flag", width:50, type:"image", imageURLPrefix:"flags/16/", imageURLSuffix:".png"},
        {name:"countryName", title:"Country"},
        {name:"capital", title:"Capital"},
        {name:"continent", title:"Continent"}
    ],
    canResizeFields: true
})

Yes I know, that I can execute

countryList.selectRecord(3)

But for my use case it would be useful to set it in the initial JavaScript constructor.

Regards Thomas

The only other option is to declare the selection in the data itself (see ListGrid.selectionProperty).
