Yad multiple columns each individually selectable in check list manner

[giles holt]

Hi,

I need to make a checklist with multiple columns, each column needs to have its own check box for each row. I’ve tried using the checklist flag but it only provides one column that's checkable and applies it across the entire row. to get around this I tried using --column=Select:CHK between each column filled with choices, but when I output the checked info to a txt file then it only records the first row (i.e. the first list item from each column). here's and example of my latest attempt:


 yad --title="Giles" --center --height="600" --width="1000" --list --print-column=0 --column=Select:CHK --column="col1:" \
FALSE "1.List item" \
FALSE "2.List item" \
FALSE "3.List item" \
FALSE "4.List item" \
FALSE "5.List item" --column=Select:CHK --column="col2:" \
FALSE "1.List item" \
FALSE "2.List item" \
FALSE "3.List item" \
FALSE "4.List item" \
FALSE "5.List item" \
FALSE "6.List item" \
FALSE "7.List item" --column=Select:CHK --column="col3:" \
FALSE "1.List item" \
FALSE "2.List item" \
FALSE "3.List item" \
FALSE "4.List item" \ --multiple --separator=" " --on-top \
        --button="gtk-save:0" --button="gtk-close:1" --editable --filename=~/CheckListChange.txt > ~/CheckListChange.txt

What's the best way to do this kind of checkbox system? really need help with this, as im at a complete loss for ideas

Many thanks in advance
