Last Updated : 29 Mar, 2023

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxGrid is used to illustrate a jQuery widget that shows data in tabular form. Moreover, it renders full support for connecting with data, as well as paging, grouping, sorting, filtering, and editing.

The getselectedcells() method is used to return every single selected cell from the displayed jqxGrid. Where, the mode of selection is singlecell, multiplecells, or multiplecellsextended. It has no parameters.

Syntax:

var cells = $('#Selector').jqxGrid('getselectedcells');

Return type: It returns an array of every single picked cell. However, each cell is an object, which has two fields namely rowindex i.e. the bound index of the row and datafield i.e. the datafield of the column.
