Check All / Uncheck All Checkbox

There is a really cool JavaScript function in Apex called: $f_CheckFirstColumn that allows you to Check / Uncheck all checkboxes that exist in the 1st column position of a Tabular Form / Report.

To implement this, all you need do is add the following HTML to the Column Heading of the 1st Column in your Tabular Form (i.e. the Checkbox Column):

<input type="Checkbox" onclick="$f_CheckFirstColumn(this)">

Check out an example here

Hello Duncan,

in your example if i click in the header for check all, all checkboxes are checked but next second all checkboxes are unchecked.

Is this a bug or a feature? ;-)

greets,
Carsten

Hi Carsten

No this was a bug. I had sorting on the checkbox column enabled which was causing some issues. This has been removed and the example is now working as intended!

Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Duncan,


Your are an intelligent.

I want to have a procedure for how to make all the checkboxes to be deselected when anyone of the checkbox is clicked.
Kindly provide me your help.

Thanks
