flex datagrid: how to do a multiple selection programmatically

Question

I have I datagrid, on which I want to select multiple rows on a other user interaction than the one intended by the Programm. I'm wondering, whether I can programmatically select some rows depending only on code?

Thanks, Markus

You can set the selectedIndices property to an array of indexes, or the selectedItems property to an array of items.

For example:

myDataGrid.selectedIndices = [1,2,5,8];
