Get selected row index

[drv232Participant]

I have a delete function which needs the selectedrowindex

$("#deleterowbutton").on('click', function () {
                        var selectedrowindex = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getselectedrowindex');
                        var rowscount = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getdatainformation').rowscount;
                         console.log(selectedrowindex,"and rowscount:",rowscount);
                        if (selectedrowindex >= 0 && selectedrowindex < rowscount) {
                            var id = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getrowid', selectedrowindex);
                            var commit = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('deleterow', id);
                        }
            });
            

But $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getselectedrowindex'); returns -1 as a value. I have looked at all examples in the demo’s.

Can you help me debug this?

Hi drv232,

If it’s -1 then you don’t have selected row or you don’t use rows selection, but cells selection.
