Recently many programmers are preferring to provide multiple selection of rows, by showing the selection by way of checkboxes in a separate column (mostly the first column), in preference to the older way of selecting Marquee style MARQSTYLE_HIGHLROWMS.
However, this requires quite a bit of extra coding by the programmer. Now this is very much simplified.
What all required is to make one call to the new Method SetMultiSelectCol().
Syntax:
Parameters:
1. [uCol]: Optional. If the method is called without parameters or uCol as nil, xbrowse inserts a new column in the 1st position before all defined columns and makes this is the multiselect column.
If uCol is specified (as column object or column's header/creation ordr), that column is configured as multiselection column.
2. [lFooter]: Optional. Defaults to oBrw:lFooter. If .t., sets footer of the column to display the number of records selected.
This column is available as oBrw:oMultiSelCol.
Toggling selection:
1. Double click of space key in this column toggles selection.
2. When oBrw:lFastEdit is .F., space key always toggles selection.
3. If oBrw:bLDblClick is nil, double click on any column toggles selection, if that column's bLDClickdata also is nil.
4. Ctrl-Click always toggles selection.
5. Shift-Click selects all rows from the last selected row till the current row.
Footers:
If any footers contain conditional aggregates depending on the selected rows, such aggregates are automatically updated in the most optimal way, without any extra code by the programmer.
Here is a sample:
