Multi select

Re: Multi select

See attached graphic:

This is a graphic help I used to understand what I needed to write a selection list. I going through this again as I need the list to be populated by an complex join and then to update multiple tables when items are checked and unchecked.

The weird thing is that if the button is on the row level you have access to all data on that row, but if you put the button on the bottom of the grid you only have access to the rows and the key value for that row that has been selected.

Ok; I inserted the function in
Javascript
- Other
- Javascript function declarations

but when I click the button in tells me it cannot find the function.

I Placed a button on the grid row with an ajax callback where
submit data is high,
submit part is grid,
row number is {Grid.RowNumber},
callback type InternalXBasicFunction,
Function Name ProcessSelected

Not sure how to do this either: a grid toolbar button on the grid

Re: Multi select

What I'd really want to do is what Jeff Benson did in the enclosed pic. I have lab codes that are categorized and I want to have multiple columns with the different categories and have the user muli select and the insert into a detail table.

Re: Multi select

Thanks Michael! Your pdf is very helpful in understanding all this java script, ajax calling, no coding required button.

I got so used to starting with Action Scripting in alpha that I assumed the same on the web-side and java scripting / ajax calling. I'm getting used to this new environment.

Thanks again!

Omar,

That is cool. Much different than what I have been working on. I need to write a secondary security system in addition to A5's.

Re: Multi select

Is there any way to do this sort of thing by filtering the grid and then going through all the filtered records? I don't want to use checkboxes since the filtering will get me all the records that I want to change.

Re: Multi select

Hi

You could open a new target grid using currentGridFilter() and process the filtered records. See video #49

Re: Multi select

I checked out the video but did not get any data about how to process the records. Using currentGridFilter() does not help because I am faced with the same problem: I don't know how to process the records on the grid. I assume that I would need to get a count of the current records first, but I can't find the command to do that. I am guessing it is available in the "e" object in my XBasic funcion, but I also cannot find the object model for the "e" object to look up the available variables.

Re: Multi select

I had to cast the countCHecked to Numeric in order for the loop to work correctly

dim error as L=.f.
dim error_msg as C=""
For i=1 to convert_type(e.checkboxRows.countChecked,"N")
	dim album_id as N=convert_type(eval("e.checkedRows.key"+i+"[1]"),"N")

	'do some processing
Next

if error==.f. then
	'redirect to the monitor batch page
else
	BuildAlbumDelivery="alert('"+js_escape(error_msg)+"');"
end if

Re: Multi select

I am wondering is there a javascript function to grab filtered row instead of xbasic function? thank you!
