Preserving checked rows state while paginating

[NeoSwf]

Hi

This topic is more about request of advice.

I have a grid which contain the two features: Pager & RowCheckbox Plugins.

I wish to maintain the state of selected rows while move between different pages.

My idea is to maintain an array on every pager's page change, using grid.getSelectedRows(), and set selected rows on reaching each page using grid.setSelectedRows().

What do you guys think? is there a better way? built in one?

Assuming you are using a DataView, this is simple:

// if you don't want the items that are not visible (due to being filtered out
// or being on a different page) to stay selected, pass 'false' to the
second arg
dataView.syncGridSelection(grid, true);

Tin, do I have to call this method everytime I change a page? or just place it at the bottom, like u did in example 4, should be enough?

(btw, I already resolved it, but I want to implement your method cause its a built in one)

[Michael Leibman]

You need to call it once when you initialize the DataView.

Does it suppose to work at example 4, when I choose a row, and activate pagination?

Tim - is there a built in method to collect the checked items in different pages?

grid.getSelectedRows() returning me only the current page.
