Accessing list of selected/highlighted elements in a Grid

I want to give the user an easy way of selecting a range of values in my Grid. If I have, say, 20 items in my Grid, and the user highlights 4-11,18 and 20 I want to get that list of Rows so I can process them. I'm looking through the API's and I'm not seeing anything. I know I'm missing something simple.

Help?

Doesn't work that way. You have to check the boxes.

The standard way to do that is to add an unbound property of FlagNYType and a new column with a checkbox tied to the new property. Then use form script to iterate through the collection and process any records that were checked. See the Pick Workbench form for an example.

I'll take a look at this tomorrow. Thank you!

That's actually what I'm already doing. What I meant was more like this. If the user selected a range: click 4 first then hole shift & click 11. Is there a way to tell which Grid elements are currently selected?

So there is no way for a user to "shift select" a range of values in a Grid/Column? I'm going to take a look at Groups, Report Options and ActiveBGTasks to see if there are any clues there. All of those are Forms that allow you to select ranges/groups in a Grid and process them.

It seems like an odd feature not to have.
