I need to implement a "Select All" function in a Data Block with All the Check boxes. It's a Database data block with 10 records to be displayed at a time. Check Box Items are in default layout. The requirement is when user checks/un-checks that select all check box which is placed on the left hand side of the other check boxes, it should select/deselect all the check box database items in that particular record.

Regards,
Kam

There's no built-in to do that. You'll have to code it manually.

Thanks for your response cookiemonster.

We can implement this functionality using loop when we need to check/uncheck all instances of a particular item in a data block but here, the requirement is to check/uncheck all the items(all check boxes) of a particular record by just one click.

I realised that.
Write code that checks/unchecks each one.

I have spent good amount of time figuring out about its solution but couldn't get any clue. Please suggest how this will be done. Any Hints would be much appreciated.

BEGIN

:checkbox1 := 'Y';
:checkbox2 := 'Y';
:checkbox3 := 'Y';
.........
END;

You're looking for a clever way to do it - there isn't one.

:)but my friend, won't this make all the instances of a checkbox item say checkbox1 in the block checked (from top to bottom). Again, I want to check/uncheck all the the checkbox items of One Record (only one instance of all the checkbox items in that record should be marked check/uncheck.

Hope, I am able to make my point clearer this time.

cookiemonster,
No, this won't make all the instances of a checkbox item in the block, checked. I have got it working the way it should be and the way you're thinking. thanks a lot for all of your time.
