Version: Windchill 12.1

 

Use Case: Create an Actions on the folder browser page, but the action must only be visible when any objects are selected in the folder contents table using the checkbox.


Description:

I don't understand how to retrieve the objects which are selected on the folder contents page before even clicking any action because I only want the action to be visible when an object is selected using the checkbox, else I don't want it to be visible.

I am not saying its not possible but just observing that I have not seen existing actions use selected items to pre-disable actions dynamically.

In general, other multiselect action do not work like this. They are still active and selectable but validate only when selected to see if ok for multiple items.

So it's not possible to get the selected objects before clicking any action?
