set selection in an Extension by the API

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hey,

it is possible to set a selection through the Extension API. I found something ( JsDoc Reference - Qv.Document.Object.Data ), but this should only work with listbox objects. Hope someone could help me.

You could use the SelectTextsInColumn call (in the Data part as you mention). If you define the dimensions you would like to make selections in for the extension object and then some simple expression, you could then just use this call to make selections in these dimensions.

Hi,

you can use either

SelectTexts(recordsToSelect)

SelectTextsInColumn(Column, toggle, recordsToSelect)

Example:

this.Data.SelectTextsInColumn(0, false, sel)

This definitely does not only work for listboxes but also within extensions!

I hope this helps!
