Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI

Hi everybody !

I would like to know if there is a way to select a range of multiple rows in Table by using keyboard like Shift. If not, do you think it’s possible to do that via a keyboard listener ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi Thomas!

The answer is pretty much no…

… but, in trunk there is a new feature called ItemClickListener. You can attach ItemClickListener to Table and with it I’d believe the desired feature can be implemented. You could click on one row, scroll a lot (visiting server multiple time) and shift click another row.

I really haven’t tried this and the feature is just two weeks old, but I believe it will work. You can try this with nightlies, but in production apps I still suggest to stay in 5.2 branch.

cheers,
matti
