Deselecting a selected item in a SmartForms list view

Dear ,

i couldnt find any other way to do that ,

but yes , if u could change the list into editable list it should work , u could just change it into editable list and remove all functionalities u dont need ,

like the tool bar buttons , remove them

and disable/remove on list item double click event ,

doing these things will make it as same as normal list view .

Regards.

Hi Victoria, 

Please explain what you mean by Deselect (or select for that matter). 

Do you refer to selecting multiple list items in a K2 list view or do you mean you want to delete rows already existing in a database and displayed in the list view?

Hi Victoria, 

If you hold the 'Ctrl' key on the keyboard while clicking the row it should be deselected. 

Not sure that's possible with rules, what are you ultimately trying to achieve. There might be another way? Or is it strictly to have a rule deselect specific rows?

How will you know which row to deselect? What will trigger the rule?

What I have done before is use conditional formatting and actually change colour for every column. So;

1. User single clicks a row
2. Back end rule updates a column (maybe status column to selected)
3. Conditional formatting on all columns changes colour when status = selected. That will make sure every highlighted row has a different colour.

For rows that have different colour (selected rows)

1. User single clicks
2. Rule checks if status column = selected, if status = selected, transfer empty string into status column
3. Default conditional formatting on all columns comes into play and updates column colour back to original value. 

Notes:

1. When you add the rule to change status, make sure you add a stop rule execution ater the status update. 

Is this close to what you're looking for? Again, if I had a better picture of what you were trying to achieve there might be better suggestions. 

Not sure this is possible.
