Checkbox check in table not showing new bound value based on button

[former_member540174]

I have a table that contains checkboxes in one of the columns. I also have two buttons - one to select all (checkboxes) and one to de-select.

I bound the checkbox checked attribute to a boolean in the context attributes the table is being derived from. I can set this flag to true or false and the view displays the checkbox correctly. When I clicked the button and looped though the context changing the checkbox attribute (though the attribute is changed) the table does not show the new state (checked or not checked).

How do I get this checkbox to "refresh" so that it shows checked or not based on the button event results?

Regards,

Diane

No need to refresh. Please post the code of the button handler.

msgMgr.reportSuccess("Select all");
for (int i=0; i<wdContext.nodeManagerEmployeeList().size(); i++)
{
 IManagerEmployeeListElement elem =(IManagerEmployeeListElement)wdContext.nodeManagerEmployeeList().getElementAt(i);
 elem.setRosterFlag(true);
 msgMgr.reportSuccess(String.valueOf(elem.getRosterFlag()));
}

The view layout shows checkbox - checked = Manager.MaangerEmployeeList.RosterFlag

The messages reported show the values of rosterflag changing but the checkbox never does.

Please post the context structure. Is "ManagerEmployeeList" a non-singleton subnode of "Manager"?

Here is a link to a picture of the context.

That's not enough information. What's the cardinality of node "Manager"? Can you post a screenshot of the context structure in the component controller (or wherever the origin of the mapping is)?

From component Controller

Manager Node

I cannot see what's wrong.

Do you try to implement a multi-selection in the table using check boxes? If yes, why not just setting the selection of the "ManagerEmployeesNode" to 0:n and using the built-in selection functionality of the table? The table has already a "Select All" / "Deselect All" function integrated (at least in newer releases).

I placed a new column in the table showing the RosterFlag (field that is modifing checkbox checked attribute). It is not changing.

Why is the table not showing current data after a roundtrip (though messages send to page show that the contents changed? Do I have to do something in the wdDoModifyView or something to the table itself?

AHHHHH!!! The buildView method in the wdDoModify view was running everytime. I had commented out the if (firstTime) statement.

Thank you for looking and responding so quickly!
