How to select a row in JQGrid?

 To select a row in JQGrid, you can use the setSelection method. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Define your JQGrid configuration:

javascript
$("#grid").jqGrid({
    url: "your_api_url",
    mtype: "GET",
    datatype: "json",
    colNames: ["Column 1", "Column 2"],
    colModel: [
        { name: "col1", index: "col1", width: 100 },
        { name: "col2", index: "col2", width: 100 },
    ],
    onSelectRow: function(rowid, status) {
        // Handle row selection event
    }
});

2. Call the setSelection method to select a row:

javascript
$("#grid").jqGrid("setSelection", rowid);

In the example above, rowid is the id of the row you want to select.

3. You can also use the onSelectRow callback to handle the row selection event:

javascript
$("#grid").jqGrid({
    url: "your_api_url",
    mtype: "GET",
    datatype: "json",
    colNames: ["Column 1", "Column 2"],
    colModel: [
        { name: "col1", index: "col1", width: 100 },
        { name: "col2", index: "col2", width: 100 },
    ],
    onSelectRow: function(rowid, status) {
        // Handle row selection event
    }
});

In the example above, onSelectRow is a callback function that will be called when a row is selected. The rowid parameter is the id of the selected row, and the status parameter indicates whether the row was selected or deselected.

Note that the setSelection method and the onSelectRow callback are only available if the multiselect property of JQGrid is set to false. If multiselect is set to true, you can use the getGridParam method to get the ids of the selected rows.
