Multiple selections in splitpane navigation pane

[rpoyner]

Is there a way to make multiple selections in a splitpane navigation pane display all the related records in the list pane? I can do this by sending events from the list in the navigation pane to the list in the list pane, but I suspect that will break the splitpane navigation magic. Autonavigate is working with individual selections, just not multiples.

We do not have a built in mode to support auto-navigation whereby you can select multiple records in the nav-pane and have the list pane display related records for each selected record.

You can achieve this yourself. Probably the easiest approach would be to leave 'autoNavigate' enabled - that will cause the built in logic to handle observing selection changes, etc, to continue to work - and to override 'navigateListPane' to do what you want.

Your override would want to take the selected records from the navigation pane and assemble them into appropriate criteria -- probably an advanced criteria object with an "OR" operator to pick up related records from each possible "category" - then call 'fetchData' on the listPane with those criteria (in order to populated it), and in the callback from the fetch request, call 'showListPane()' on the splitPane to ensure it is displayed [and potentially update its title, etc].
