Allow multiple choices

[nrenfree]

I have searched the forum and the documentation and cannot find a way to allow the user to choose more than value from a list of choices.

Is it possible to present the user with a number of choices and allow them to choose more than one?

What ice cream flavors do you like?
Chocolate
Vanilla
Peach
Rocky Road

Thank you for your help,

You can simply make each choice a separate object attribute of type Yes/No. The user will be able to tick or un-tick a check box for each choice.

So there is no ListBox with multiple selection capability in AwareIM?

A series of check boxes would look fine to an end user for a small list of choices.

The two issues would be:
1) As the list grew, the items would take up more and more form space.
2) As a developer, updating the list would be more difficult than if it was stored in one list of options.

Are there any plans to add this capability to AwareIM?

Thank you for your help,

Yes you can allow multiple choice selection in the presentation options, look for "Show as" and select "Swap Box" I think its called....

Yes, you can have a list of multiple choices displayed either as a listbox with multiple selection, or as a swap-select control as suggested by avatar69. To implement this you need to make a separate object, say called Flavor and a multiple-allowed reference attribute of type Flavor on object Icecream.

You can then add new Flavor instances in the operation mode as required. They will be automatically visible in the list on Icecream form where the user can select one or more items from the list.
