SalesLogix Web Client v8.0 – Determining the selected records in the list view

 In a previous post, I talked about how you can access the client side group selection context to determine what records are selected in the SalesLogix web client in the group/list view.  That post was for 7.5x SalesLogix web.  The version 8.0 web client has replaced the ext-js group components with a dojo based solution.  Luckily for our purposes not a lot has really changed, except how to call a SalesLogix client side function.

Previously you had to make a javascript call like this:

function FXGetSelections(){
    var selectionInfo = GetSelectionInfo();
    document.getElementById(clientID + ‘_hfSelections’).value = selectionInfo.key;
    var svc = Sage.Services.getService(‘SelectionContextService’);
    svc.setSelectionContext(selectionInfo.key, selectionInfo, false);
}

Now you need to make a slightly different call to get the SelectionInfo:

function FXGetSelections(){
    var selectionInfo = Sage.Utility.getSelectionInfo();
    document.getElementById(clientID + ‘_hfSelections’).value = selectionInfo.key;
    var svc = Sage.Services.getService(‘SelectionContextService’);
    svc.setSelectionContext(selectionInfo.key, selectionInfo, false);
}

The rest of the logic outlined in my original post remains the same.
