Add checkbox column in Ignition Perspective to filter other column

Ignition
1

Hi!

I would like to add a column with checkboxes on a table in perspective.

Later on I will use this checkboxes to filter another column.

  • Add a boolean column to the table's props.data.
  • column.n.render : boolean
  • column.n.boolean : checkbox

Tip: don't delete and repost. Use the edit button on your first post.

  1. The data has to exist so you need a named column in props.data. You could generate this in your SQL:
SELECT
    column0,
    column1,
    column2,
    column3,
    FALSE AS check
FROM ...
  1. You need to name the column in the field property.
    Checkbox field

Now just appear a 0

OK, it looks like SQL is converting TRUE and FALSE to 1 and 0.
Try this:

SELECT
    column0,
    column1,
    column2,
    column3,
    'false' AS 'select'
FROM ...
7

SELECT A.ASSET "text",
0 "select",
TO_NUMBER(APA.PARENTASSET) "Zone",
TS.ID_SEDE AS "id"

8

Shouldn't that be,

SELECT A.ASSET AS 'text',
0 AS 'select',

Also, see Wiki - how to post code on this forum.

The query is ok, I just checking why checkboxes doesn´t appear... :thinking:

10

Select check

The field property "check" does not match the column name "select".

("select" isn't a very good column name in SQL!)

11

yes, still don´t get why check column is not showing and why select column does

12

Because you don't have a 'check' column in your SQL. Look at props.data and I expect you will see a 'select' column and no 'check' column.

You need columns.4.field : select.

Is working, but now can´t check the checkboxes as they all have value "0" I guess I will need to add some script

column.4.editable : true

Yes, you will need to write code.

Ok, I will add based on previous code something like:


# Assuming this script is triggered by an onClick event from a table component
# `event` is the object that contains details about the event that was triggered
if event.button == 1:  # Check if the left mouse button was clicked
    # Get the selected row index
    selectedRow = self.props.selection.selectedRow
    
    if selectedRow is not None:  # Ensure there is a selected row
        # Accessing the table's data
        data = self.props.data
        
        # Check if the selected zone is within the user's allowed zones
        if data[selectedRow]['Zone'] in system.util.getGlobals().get('userZones', []):
            # Get current state of the 'select' checkbox
            currentSelectValue = data[selectedRow]['select']
            
            # Toggle the value
            newValue = 0 if currentSelectValue == 1 else 1
            
            # Update the 'select' column in the data
            # Make a deep copy of the data to modify it
            import copy
            newData = copy.deepcopy(data)
            newData[selectedRow]['select'] = newValue
            
            # Set the modified data back to the table
            self.props.data = newData

But don´t know where to add it, on the column itself?

No, to change the checkbox in run mode you have to edit the cell. The default is,
cells.allowEditOn : double-click.
You might prefer,
cells.allowEditOn : single-click.
Then click the checkbox.

You only need code to update your database or whatever you want to do.
