In the report grid, Is there a faster way of retrieving the number of selected rows then the following method:

    // Get the first selected row.

    LONG lRowCount = 0;

    LONG lRowDataNo = GetFirstSelectedRowGrid();

    while(lRowDataNo != -1) {



        // Is this row childless?

        if(IsChildlessRowGrid(lRowDataNo)) {



            // Increment the row count.

            lRowCount++;

        }



        // Go to the next selected row.

        lRowDataNo = GetNextSelectedRowGrid(lRowDataNo);

    }

In other words, is there a faster way then to COUNT all of the selected rows?

This method is OK.

But you can also track the selection on the fly. You should override the CExtGridBaseWnd::_SelectionAreaConvert() internal virtual method and keep indices of the selected rows in some map. This virtual method is invoked for converting the new selection rectangles on the fly before grid will store them as parts of selection region.
