asked on January 2, 2024
HI,
I need to do this:
Select a cell, for example row 1 column 1 and then select a cell, for example row 5 column 5 by holding down SHIFT and ensuring that all the cells between the vertex and the opposite selected vertex are selected (creating a rectangle).
I looked in the documentation for an API to programmatically select multiple cells, but I didn't find it.
Can you suggest a tip?
A thousand thanks,
Claudio

Hi Claudio,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Could you please provide us with more details on how you want to select multiple cells using the API call? Do you want them to be selected by the row and column indexes? It would greatly help us.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Nadia

Hi Nadia,
I have attached an example image of what I would like to implement.
To do this, I might just need an API that allows me to programmatically select a group of cells.
Something like
setSelectedCells(cells)
