I have a table that is generated from shelved alarm data. I have the `Shelved Path` as a column in the table. Currently, I have a button that will grab the (single) selected row’s `Shelved Path` property from the table and unshelve it using `system.alarm.unshelve()`. However, this function does take a list of paths and I would like to update it to take a list from a multi-selection on the table. How do I get the multi-selected list from the dataset? I don’t see any of the properties change when I ctrl+select multiple rows in the table.

In Vision, the multi-selection can be retrieved with `.getSelectedRows()` (or `.selectedRows`), which will be the list of row indices. You have to loop through that, retrieving the corresponding data from the dataset.

Unfortunately, this is not a bindable property.

Dang, yep. I was using a binding. Guess I’ll have to transition _another_ binding to a script

Trying to do this on a tree view, I get

```python
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<event:actionPerformed>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.com' object has no attribute 'getSelectedRows'

```

and same for property `.selectedRows`

That method is only for tables.

turns out `.selectedItems` works but I get this weird array

```python
array('i', [791, 340, 346])

```

Java arrays can be iterated just like python lists.

Would `system.alarm.unshelve(“/*”)` unshelve all alarms?
