I have a power table that I would like to create a “Select All” button for.

I have done this with the plain Table component with the following scripting:

table = event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Table’)  
rows = table.getRowsInViewOrder()  
table.setRowSelectionInterval(0, len(rows) - 1)

However, I do not see a getRowsInViewOrder or setRowSelectionInterval in the PowerTable documentation.

Is there a way to set the selected rows in a Power Table component with Scripting?

Not via the documented functions, but it is possible if you go into the Java backend.

See [Set multiple row selection on powertable](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/set-multiple-row-selection-on-powertable/14375)

I found a more elegant solution:

table = event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Table’)  
jide\_table = table.getTable()  
jide\_table.selectAll()

</div>

I might also add that

```auto
table = event.source.parent.getComponent('Table')
jide_table = table.getTable()
jide_table.clearSelection()

```

will clear the selection.
