Selecting Multiple Rows in a Portal

Classic Servoy

Is there a way to change the UI of a portal so that you can select multiple records in the portal, and then execute a script using the data keys of the records you have selected?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Couple of ideas spring to mind :

  1. Attach a method to an element of the portal row which is sensitive to the modifier key depressed at the point of clicking.
    Your method can test for the modifier key value and add the clicked row id to an array if it is pressed and ignore it if it isn’t !
    See: ‘application.getLastKeyModifiers()’
    Thus you can hold down ‘ctrl’ for example as you click the record(s) required which then adds the ids to the array then load a set of records using the array

  2. Add an indicator field to each portal row so that you can click on it and tag it with a value. You can then go and get all tagged records and process them.
