From: Peter Flynn <peter.flynn@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Just out of curiosity, is there a way to multi-select from a list (eg > the App Mgr Installable Apps list) using the screen and stylus, or do I > have to attach my keyboard? Are you talking about the current Diablo? Or the upcoming Fremantle? On Fremantle: If one list (using a treeview) has multiple selection, you should be able to "multi-select" using only the screen and stylus. With multi selection, you can see a "check" icon on the right side of the selected item(s). I suppose that if you talk about attach the keyboard, you are asking if you need that in order to use the Ctrl or the Shift. As I just said, this is not required, and you should be able to do that. Anyway, is the application developer the one that sets if a list has single or multi selection. So if your problem is that you are using a specific app (you are talking about App Mgr) and you expect to be able to multi-select, but you are not able to, probably this is because the developer implement that using single selection, and not a "missing keyboard" problem. <maemo-developer> Only FYI, although the following text is more suitable for maemo-developer. If you (anyone) are using directly a gtktreeview, you can change from single to multiple-selection using: http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/gtk/GtkTreeSelection.html#gtk-tree-selection-set-mode If you are using a HildonTouchSelector, this is wrapped with the following func: http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hildon/HildonTouchSelector.html#hildon-touch-selector-set-column-selection-mode At hildon/examples there two examples you can look at: hildon-pannable-area-touch-list-example: a example that show the differences using a treeview on fremantle hildon-touch-selector-example: a simple example of the hildon-touch-selector using multi-selection. </maemo-developer> === API (apinheiro@xxxxxxxxxx) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
