Multple row selection in a datatable example

[anb1]

I'm desperately looking for an example of a multiple rows selection implementation, either with a rich:datatable, h:datatable or a rich:scrollabledatatable.

The exadel livedemo provides an example with scrollabledatatable but I have been unable to reproduce it, especially the backing beans part.

Thanks

Multiple rows?  Like you mean some checkboxes and then click a button?  Do you have a page prototype that we can look at?

[anb1]

Thank you for your answer. I could hack something with checkboxes but I am now looking for a solution where one can just click anywhere on a row and ctrl-click multiple rows, then click on a button to do an action on all the rows selected.

How do you guys usually do that ? Is it even possible ?

If you were using ICEfaces, or wanted to try it, you could use the rowSelector component.  To see this component, you can view the component-showcase
Choose Table and then Row Selector.

rich:dataTable has an onRowClick event and an onRowDoubleClick event. Use one of these with an a4j:support to pass the row back to your Bean.

Search this forum for onRowClick and you'll see several approaches.

Cheers,

Damian.

Hi Damian , as you said can we use onRowClick event and select multiple rows in rich:datatable and delete those rows.

Thanks in advance...
