Re: How To Enable Multiple Row Selection In LightSwitch's Grids

Hi Yann,

Thanks a lot for sharing this. I am just a beginner in LightSwitch and am working on my very first project.

I have a scenario where I need to associate Invoices (already added in the system) with the existing Timesheets (already added in the system).

I have created an Invoice Search/ Detail / Related Entities screen on which under "Associated Timesheets" tab I was thinking to put a "Associate Timesheet" button that will take the users to Search Timesheet Screen. On this screen users can search for the eligible Timesheets, then Multi select them based on the technique suggested by you and then click "Associate" button to associate the selected Timesheets to the pre-selected Invoice. On clicking "Associate", after saving, users will be re-directed to the Invoice screen and the selected Timesheets can appear under "Associated Timesheets" tab.

Can you please provide your feedback if this is the best possible way to achieve this or are there better/simple way to do this?

Thanks in advance. Your help to the community is much appreciated!!!!

Cheers
Raj

Hi Yann,

Thanks a lot for sharing this. This is exactly what I was looking for! A shame the extended selection mode isn't part of the out-of-the-box LightSwitch functionality, but your solution only requires a few code lines and allows me to use the rest of LightSwitch without any compromise.

Thanks!
