How to create actions on a list or library control

Forms
1

I’m currently evaluating Plumsail Sharepoint modern pages forms.
I would like place a list or library control on a form (that is easy)
The user should be able to select a row in the list. He should have the option to execute one action (by preference there could be multiple actions - the user indicates what action to execute)
The Javascript code for the action must know what row has been selected.
Is such a thing possible ?

Dear Wim,

Yes, I’m quite sure it’s possible. Not an ordinary case though, so I will consult with my colleagues whether my solution is best suited to this issue.

Write you soon :grin:

Dear Wim,
This should be possible to implement. Could you, please, write us all the details for this feature to support@plumsail.com? If it’s doable with pure JS, we’ll provide a solution, and if it will need some modifications to the app - we can discuss this as well.

Dear @phil,

List or Library control is actually based on Kendo UI Grid, so many of its configuration options can be useful in making this possible - https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid

For example, you can make rows selectable with the following code:

//select multiple with Ctrl + Click 
fd.control("SPDataTable0").widget.options.selectable = "multiple"; 
fd.control("SPDataTable0").widget.setOptions(fd.control("SPDataTable0").widget.options); 
  
You can find which rows are selected with the following JS: 
var select = fd.control("SPDataTable0").widget.select(); 
for(var i = 0; i < select.length; i++){ 
  console.log(fd.control("SPDataTable0").widget.dataItem(select[i])); 
}

If you need additional help - let us know, we should be able to improve on this, though it might take time to implement, thus would require extra support minutes.
