    DataScroller and selectable rows

    phantasmo
    phantasmo Jul 30, 2009 6:54 PM

      Is it possible to select multiple rows found on different pages using DataScroller and whatever datatable-type component?
      For example, I want to select one row on a first page and two more on the second page.

      I'm not able to test this out at the moment, so I'm posting here...

      Thanks for the patience.

          It's possible and the implementation depends on concrete case.. you want to use checkboxes, or just row highlight and so on? And b.t.w. do not try with scrollable table because it has it's own scroll so it's not designed to be used with datascroller.

            Thank you for the reply.

            you want to use checkboxes, or just row highlight and so on?

            Well, checkboxes would be nice, but honestly, I'll go for the easiest solution here.
            do not try with scrollable table

            I'm aware about the scrollable table's differences, and I was attempting to use extended datatable as it seems to support both the scroller and multiple row selection.

            Would you, please, give me some guidance or a pointer to some reading material on implementing this? I'm quite new to RichFaces, so I could really use a hand.

            Thanks a bunch!

              Not the concrete solution for your case but you should check to get selection management idea so you will be able to implement your case with analogous code.

                Ok, I'll study your code and I'll try implementing the solution.
                Thanks a lot for this!

                  Hi  Ilya,

                  I am new in richfaces. Tried to implement your example about extendedDataTable  in NetBeans 6.8. inside the portlet running on JBoss Portal 2.7.2-ga (OS: Windows XP Professional version-2002 with service pack 3)  and got the following error:

                  I have attached my example: country.xhtml , CountryAdminManagedBean.java, my web-project's web-inf and a doc containing libraries from project property. Have to mention that I am using the RichFaces 3.3.3 Final version. (but started with version 3.3.3 CR1.

                   

                  Colud you look at it and give me an advice where the problem is?

                   

                  Thank you in advance,

                  Jozsef

                    does the same work in non-portan environment?

                      Thank you for your reply. The problem  exists also in a non-portal environment.

                        Hi Ilya,

                         

                        Could you also provide us the whole example (we mean not only the XHTML, but also the backing bean) of Edit Data Table with modal panel.

                        Maybe it is a simple question where to find them but unfortunetly we do not know  it.

                         

                        We are waiting for you reply. It is a quite important question to us.

                         

                        Thank you,

                        Jozsef Szalai
