If any module wishes to handle multiple selection, it can use a MultiSelectionBox rather than a SelectionBox. If it does not, that YCP application obviously does not wish to handle that. This might be an enhancement request for the installation sources module. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It has nothing to do with selecting the first item, the seventh, and from tenth to fifteenth from the list. It is not too much to ask for 2006 year I think. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208075 ------- Comment #9 from locilka@novell.com 2006-10-13 01:26 MST ------- Maciej, I'm sorry, but it (the point 2) is important, that it is a table and not a MultiSelectionBox proposed by Steffen. It's impossible to select more than one line in the table because the Qt UI doesn't allow to do it and we cannot use MultiSelectionBox (where you can select more at once) because we need features (like columns, sorting) that a table offers. So, that's why I was, as you said, "catching you on words" :) It's not _SO_ easy :) But you're right, sometimes explaining things might look like arguing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

And you'd always get a list, even if nothing is selected (list empty) or if only one item is selected (list contains one item). Changing the API for the generic case is something we obviously can't do - we'd break a lot of existing code. So we'd have to add another (yet another) kludge to work around that - use properties "SelectedItem" and "SelectedItems" (or "SelectedItemList") and add something like `opt(`multiSelection) to the respective widgets. And still it would be considerable work to actually use that in existing modules. This smells a lot like overcomplicating things that were once easy to use, and also like another source for really hard-to-find programming errors on the application side. YCP was never meant for sophisticated power-user GUIs. At places where we need that kind of thing the proven approach is to use dedicated high-level widgets (like the PackageSelector, the PatternSelector, the PartitionSplitter, ...). It looks more and more like installation source handling might be another good candidate for that approach. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
