Dynamics Ax multiselect grid

For reference: http://www.axaptapedia.com/index.php?title=Multiple_grid_selections

I wanted to test this out here are the steps to produce with a twist thrown in for Active on the datasource.

1. Create a new form, called TestMultiSelect
2. copy CustTable to the data source
3. under design,
   1. add a grid,
      1. on grid copy "Invoice" field group to the grid
   2. add a button
      1. on the button select Multiselect = Yes
4. code for the buttons clicked event see Figure 1
5. on active code override of the datasource custtable put code for figure 2
6. That is it, now you have a multiselect button and a way while form is loaded to check things like should the button be lit up or not in the active method.

   1: void clicked()

   2: {

   3:  

   4:     custTable   currentCustTable;

   5:     ;

   6:     super();

   7:  

   8:     for (currentCustTable = custTable_ds.getFirst(true) ?

   9:                                     custTable_ds.getFirst(true) :

  10:                                     custTable_ds.cursor(); currentCustTable; currentCustTable = custTable_ds.getnext())

  11:     {

  12:         info(currentCustTable.InvoiceAccount);

  13:     }

  14:  

  15: }

   2: {

   3:     int ret;

   4:     CustTable currentCustTable;

   5:  

   6:     ret = super();

   7:     

   8:     for (currentCustTable = custTable_ds.getFirst(true) ?

   9:                                     custTable_ds.getFirst(true) :

  10:                                     custTable_ds.cursor(); currentCustTable; currentCustTable = custTable_ds.getnext())

  11:     {

  12:         info(currentCustTable.InvoiceAccount);

  13:     }

  14:  

  15:  

  16:     return ret;

  17: }
