Manually trigger editor edit...

kaustubh.agrawal2000

I have a use case where, my table has checkboxes (where user can select multiple checkbox and click a button to do some operation)..

Now, the problem is.. I want to disable the edit button if more than 1 checkbox is selected ..

Case 1 :
If the user clicks the checkbox on the header (all the row checkboxes are selected)... in this case the edit button should be disabled if >1 checkbox is selected..

Case 2 :
If user clicks single row checkbox the, edit button should be enabled

Case 3:
If user selects >1 checkboxes in rows, the edit button should be disabled.

I tried with something like below

    $('#sauda').on('click', function() {
        var selectedRows = table.column(0).checkboxes.selected().count();
        if (selectedRows != 1) {
                table.buttons('.buttons-edit').disable();
        } else {
                table.buttons('.buttons-edit').enable();
        }
    });

but this is not working..

Kindly suggest me a good workaround for this.

Are you using the Select extension?

If so this example shows how to get the selected row count:

If not then please post your Datatables and JS code for the checkboxes.

Hi Kevin.. I am actually using the select plugin...

but the thing is, I only want to edit button enabled when only 1 row is selected and disabled if 0 OR >1 rows are selected..

I could not find that inbuilt functionality, so I was trying to do it myself.. but its not working as I have written down in the question.

Any help on this will be greatly appriciated.

The plugin is just awesome ..
The only thing that I would really request you is to add a few more examples with different use cases that are posted frequently in the forum...

I always find the answer after extensively searching, but more the examples better it would be for all...

Having said that,
Thanks a lot for a great product..!!
