James,
I have been trying to get this done as well. here is what i have
<method event="onselect">
Debug.write('$$selected$$');
parent.menu.details.onclick.sendEvent();
</method>
<method event="ondata">
grid.selectItemAt(0);
</method>
but it does not work. in the debug window i see that the selected
attribute is set.
so i will be watching this thread.
Vikas.
