How do I enable Checkboxes for Selection in a macro.table?

[davidhenn]

Dear community please help,

I want to use a table building block from the flexible programming model to let the user select entries, but I can't get the table to display the select checkboxes.

According to the documentation it only needs the property selectionMode="Multi" to enable the selection of multiple entries or selectionMode="Single" for the selection of a single entry. Unfortunately neither of them works.

It's not working in my application and its also not working in the flexible programming model explorer.

Is this a bug in the building block or am I missing something?

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I think you should overthink your design decision here since this table is intended to be used in freestyle applications. As a developer I'd like to be in control here and if I tell the table to be selectable, It should be. I might have an action outside the table which needs the selected entries.

Im my case I wanted to use the table as part of a custom search help in a dialog. If the user selected some entries and then clicks the "Ok" Button in the dialog, then I wanted to get the selected entries and close the dialog. With the designed behaviour I don't think I can use your table.

I think at least you should update the documentation so it is clear that the table needs an action to be selectable.
