DisplayTag & Checkbox

[YY Yong]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to add checkboxes to a table column rendered by displaytag 0.8.5 ? how to make checkboxes to remain being checked after another column is sorted? If yes, please help!!

Thanks in advance.

Extend display tags column Decorator and use the same decorator class in the display tag column. In your class you can display the check boxes.

Your Jsp looks like
<display:table name="list" decorator="com.test.SearchResultsDecorator"> <display:column property="checkBox" headerStyleClass="columnhead lcell" title=""/>
</display:table>

Your Decorator Class Code looks like

public String getCheckBox(){
Content obj = (Content) this.getCurrentRowObject();
long checkboxValue=obj.getContentId();
String checkboxDisplay = obj.getContentName();

/* Any Such condition can be added here .....
if(checkInSelectedList(checkboxValue))
return disabledCheckBox(checkboxValue,checkboxDisplay).toString();
else
*/
return checkbox(checkboxValue,checkboxDisplay).toString();
}

private StringBuffer checkbox(long checkboxValue,String checkboxDisplay) {
return new StringBuffer().append("<input type='checkbox' name='"checkbox_name" value='").append(checkboxValue).append("'>");
}
