+## Description
+
+I want to prevent the [OnRowClick](slug:grid-events#onrowclick) event in the [Grid for Blazor](slug:grid-overview) from executing when a user selects text by dragging to highlight it. 
+
+This knowledge base article also answers the following questions:
+- How to prevent row click event in a Blazor Grid during text selection?
+- How to check for text selection before firing Grid events?
+- How to use JavaScript interop for handling the `OnRowClick` event in Telerik Blazor Grid?
+
+## Solution
+
+To achieve this, use JavaScript interop to detect text selection. Follow these steps:
+
+1. Define a JavaScript helper function that checks whether any text is currently selected on the page.
+2. Inject the IJSRuntime service into your Blazor component to enable JavaScript interop.
+3. Call the JavaScript function within your `OnRowClick` event handler to bypass logic when text is selected conditionally.
