  I have a FlexGrid with allowAddNew=true so there is an extra blank row for new items. When I click on “TopLeft” or hit Ctrl+A or Ctrl+space all rows are selected INCLUDING the blank row for new items.
  
  So even if there are let’s say 3 rows in a FlexGrid grid.selectedRows contains 4 rows, one without a dataItem. But if I select all rows he would expect this to be equal to the existing rows.

  Is there a smart way to always exclude the “new row” from the “select all” commands?

  The 6 in the picture is grid.selectedRows.length.

  Hi Andreas,

  Selecting all the rows is expected behavior because an empty row is also considered a row in FlexGrid. You can change this behavior by overriding the selectAll method of FlexGrid and also adding an event listener for Ctrl + Space to only select the data rows.
  
  Please refer to the sample link below for reference:
