Nattable row selection provider - eclipse-rcp

I am new to Nattable, my requirement is to highlight a selected object of nattable view to different view.
Consider 'View1' as nattable data view, it has following code:
getViewSite().setSelectionProvider(
m_gridTable.getRowSelectionProvider() );
and 'View2' implements ISelectionListener, but 'selectionChanged' of View2 is not getting called when I select any object in 'View1'.
Am I missing anything?

RowSelectionProvider was created using fullySelectedRowsOnly as true value so selection event was not fired unless user selects complete row, changing flag to false worked fine for me.

Select single row with checkbox in sap.ui.table

noobie_sapui5_developer
I am trying select single row of sap.ui.table with checkbox.
There are 2 modes for this table
Multi
Single
In multi selection mode there are checkboxes for each row and multiple rows can be selected - but I want only a single row to be selected
In single selection mode, it allows only a row to be selected - but there are no check boxes.
How to achieve a table with checkboxes with only one selectable row?
It is possible with sap.m.table, but my requirement is to make it work with sap.ui.table.
Why I wouldn't recommend doing this:
Checkboxes (selectionMode="MultiToggle") are usually used to signal the user that he's able to select no, one or more options, while radio buttons (selectionMode="Single") tell the user that he's only able to choose one option.
See: material.io, nngroup, uxplanet-radio, uxplanet-checkbox
In your case, I'd recommend using the selectionMode="Single" and either set the selectionBehavior attribute to Row, RowOnly or RowSelector (SelectionBehaviour).
As #jasbir pointed out, you could use the rowSelectionChange event in order to invoke a function that grabs the index (getSelectedIndex) of the row that was just selected. You can then call the setSelectedIndex function on the sap.ui.table.Table and pass it the grabbed index. This will remove previously selected rows and set the currently selected row as selected.
<Table id="yourTableId"
selectionMode="MultiToggle"
rowSelectionChange="onSelectionChange">
</Table>
And in the controller.
onSelectionChange: function(oEvent) {
var oYourTable = this.getView().byId("yourTableId"),
iSelectedIndex = oEvent.getSource().getSelectedIndex();
oYourTable.setSelectedIndex(iSelectedIndex);
}
Note: Since the setSelectedIndex function triggers a rowSelectionChange the above function gets triggered twice (another indicator that this solution isn't intended behaviour).
Check the SAP Fiori Guidelines for the sap.ui.table.Table for further information.
You can use rowSelectionChange event whenever a selection is changed you can unselect other rows and keep the selected one.
Hope this helps

How to set css class to a row which has focus in Dojo datagrid

I am using DOJO datagrid version 1.10 What I want is on tab indexing the row in the grid should get highlighted so that user will be able to know on which row the focus is. But I am not getting the row focus.
You could listen on the dojox.grid.DataGrid::onCellFocus event. The event arguments are the focused cell-Object itself and the corresponding rowIndex.
function onCellFocus(cell, rowIndex) {
// first clear selection
grid.selection.clear();
// select the focused row
grid.selection.setSelected(rowIndex, true);
// invoke manually the render method
grid.render();
}
I've created a working fiddle for you, which can be found here.

GWT: Multi Selection model does not update the celltable status in some cases

I am using the GWT MultiSelectionModel within a CellTable in which I have a checkbox in one column and a widget in the other column. I have added handlers to update the selection status based on user clicks. If the user clicks on any part of either columns when the cell is selected, the status gets updated correctly and the cell turns white from light blue. Howvever, If the user clicks on the check box and the cell is selected, the check box gets unchecked but the cell is still blue. Even more strange: This issue does not happen if I have a few breakpoints before the status update code is executed.
In all other cases, the cell state and the checkbox state gets updated correctly. Note that I am not using the ProvidesKeys interface since the object do not change.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks for your help.
Have you tried using a CheckBoxCell for your checkbox column and, specifically, the CheckboxCell(boolean dependsOnSelection, boolean handlesSelection) constructor (by passing true to both params)?
I've got almost the same problem when I use MultiSelectionModel. What's my walkaround is to see the checkbox's column as a special one and then to deal with it manually. Say:
myDataGrid.addCellPreviewHandler(
#Override
public void onCellPreview(final CellPreviewEvent<MyCellData> event){
if("click".equals(event.getNativeEvent().getType()) && 0 != event.getColumn()){
doWhatYouWant();
}
}
)

How to add a custom selection Handler to a celltable

I want to add a special selection model to the celltable. Basically the function i want to have is to select a row on the table which is located on left side, a corresponding form will pop up on the right side.
I know so many people will use the singleSelectionModel with SelectionChangeHandler.
But there is problem with this method.
For example, if I select row 1 on the table. the form pop up. I close the form by clicking the close-button. Later then, I select the row 1 again, the event is not fired, because it is SelectionChangeHandler. I have to select other row before doing this. This is no good.
So I think there are a few ways to do this:
Make the row deselected right after I select the row.
Use click handler to fire the event ( to pop up the form)
Use other selection model with other selection handler to do this. (I have no ideas about this though)
So my questions are,
Does anyone know what kind of other selection handler I can use for this.
If I use the click handler on celltable, will there be any problem?
I just want to learn more about this. So any ideas will be welcome.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards.
Use NoSelectionModel. It won't update the table view after the row is selected. That is, even if the same row is selected, the change event is fired.
//Here 'Contact' is the datatype of the record
final NoSelectionModel<Contact> selModel = new NoSelectionModel<Contact>();
selModel.addSelectionChangeHandler(new Handler() {
#Override
public void onSelectionChange(SelectionChangeEvent event) {
Contact clickedObject = selModel.getLastSelectedObject();
GWT.log("Selected " + clickedObject.name);
}
});
table.setSelectionModel(selModel);
I have using cell table in my each project. The better way to just deselect row manually as u mention. and make change css such as selected cell table's row look not changed after selection.

SilverLight 4 DataGrid & MVVM: Using SelectionChanged trigger to check checkbox, but NotifyPropertyChanged causes crash

I have a DataGridCheckBoxColumn in my DataGrid which is to indicate the rows the user has selected. I want the checkboxes to be checked/unchecked with a single click. Making the column editable (i.e. IsReadOnly="False") means the user has to click twice (first click just selects the row, 2nd click changes the checkbox), so I decided to set/clear the property the column is bound to in the view model code in response to the SelectionChanged trigger firing.
Setting/clearing the property works fine, however as soon as I call NotifyPropertyChanged("name of collection the grid is bound to") to get the view to show the change, this causes the SelectionChanged trigger to fire again. This loops about 10 times until an exception is thrown.
If I remove the call to NotifyPropertyChanged, the SelectionChanged trigger fires once, but of course I don't see any change in the UI. The collection is a PagedCollectionView if this makes any difference.
How can I get this to work? Note - I am using MVVM pattern, so everything is done with bindings to View Model (no code behind).
Thanks
Sounds like you have a infinite loop by design.
but try using the selectionchanging instead of selectionchanged,
or put a isloading flag in your viewmodel and dont call the inotify if the isloading is true
I found a very simple solution that doesn't involve triggers or code behind. See: Silverlight single-click checkbox DataGrid columns
It seems to work by using a column template, but only providing the CellEditingTemplate and no CellTemplate.
