## Selection in Grid

### Base selection operations

By default rows in grid can be selected by single click. Next commands can be used for program selection operations

        grid.selectRow(...)
        grid.selectRowById()
        grid.selectCell(...)

### Multi-Selection Mode

Multi-selection mode in the grid can be easily enabled in the following way:

            grid.enableMultiselect(true|false); // false by default

[Shift/Ctrl] keys should be used for selecting multiple rows at a time.

### Block Selection

Starting from dhtmlxGrid v1.3, additional selection mode is supported in the grid - block selection. To activate this mode, the user needs to include dhtmlXGrid_selection.js file into the project.

It is possible to select any block of content and copy it to the clipboard in this mode. Block paste from the clipboard is also available.

### Clearing Selection

The selection can be removed from the grid in the following way:

            grid.clearSelection();

### Selecting All Rows in Grid

The following method is responsible for selecting all rows in the grid:

              grid.selectAll();
