Grid multiselect not looping

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 87

Hello,

I am using a multiselecthelper to iterate through a selected records in a grid. The problem i have is that it works when i actively multi select the records (blue color) but it doesnt work when i click directly on the "all" checkbox. It results on all the records selected (grey color). I can put some code but to be honest the multi select part is quite generic.

For some reason the grid is not catching all the records if i don't click on it.  Is there any known bug?, some property maybe? I compared to other standard forms and i don't see the difference.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Eisenberk,

    Can you explain with the screenshot of the form?

    Also, can you paste the code for multiselect helper?

    Thanks,

    Girish S.

    I checked multiselect helper doesn't loop if you select all records in the grid. I think this is the standard behavior.

    If you want that to work use DataSource getFirst and getNext method instead of Multiselect helper class.

    TableName tableName;
    
    tableName = DatasourceName_ds.getFirst(true);
    while(tableName)
    {
        //do some logic here.
        DatasourceName_ds.getNext();
    }

    Thanks,

    Girish S,

    Hello, thanks for the answers.

    I tried all your contributions without success. I think the problem is related to the grid properties.

    I currently have a button to the action panel  linked to the grid, with the next code in clicked() method (names are generic)

    MultiselectionHelper    helper = MultiselectionHelper::construct();
    Table                   tmpTable;
    
    
    helper.parmDatasource(Table_DS);
    tmpTable = helper.getFirst();
    
    while(tmpTable)
    {
        //Some Logic
        tmpTable = helper.getNext();
    }

    I must say, the loop works when the selected records in the grid are highlited in blue color but for some reason when i click the "select all tick"  it only gets the first record even with all the records selected (highlited in grey color) .

    I am not sure is the standard behaviour because the "RetailAddItems" form works fine.

    Regards.

    I am not sure its related to the grid properties. Have you compare the grid properties with RetailAddItems and your form.

    I also tested with multiselect helper class its not looping when we select all the records.

    But the code I have pasted is looping even though if you select all the records.

    Thanks,

    Girish S.

    Hello GirishS,

    Yes, I compared the forms and i don't see the difference. The problem (in my case) on looping all the datasource is that sometimes there are records in the datasource that i don't want to use in the loop, thats why i was trying to use the multiselect helper, this way i can multiselect some items, not all.

    Oh - I guess it's a standard behavior of multiselect helper class - I also tested with multiselect helper class and it's not looping the record if I select all the records.

    Thanks,

    Girish S.
