TIEMultiSelectionOptions


Declaration

TIEMultiSelectionOptions = set of (iemoRegion, iemoSelectOnMouseUp, iemoLeaveOneSelected, iemoRegionOnShift, iemoOptimizeForDragging, iemoSelectOnRightClick, iemoForceCTRLKey, iemoHideSelectionRect, iemoDontSortMultiSelectioni, iemoPreventRectSelection, iemoDontSelectOnAdd);


Description

Value Description
iemoRegion Select only items inside selection rectangle when shift selecting
iemoSelectOnMouseUp By default, ImageEn selects an image on mouse down. If iemoSelectOnMouseUp is specified, ImageEn delays selection until mouse up
iemoLeaveOneSelected If specified, at least one item remains selected. Note: works only when the user deselects multiple images
iemoRegionOnShift If specified, pressing Shift only selects items inside rectangle
iemoOptimizeForDragging Makes the behavior closer to Windows Explorer when selecting a region. If you click outside a selection it creates a region, if you click on an existing selection it does nothing. This is particularly useful if you need to support dragging
iemoSelectOnRightClick Makes the behavior closer to Windows Explorer. When right-clicking outside the selection the new frame is selected. By default this is not specified, meaning that right-clicking has no effect on selection
iemoForceCTRLKey Forces multiple-selection. Clicking items will toggle their selection (i.e. same as holding down the Ctrl key). Note: Applies to mouse clicks only, not the keyboard
iemoHideSelectionRect By default, a visible (semi-transparent) rectangle is shown when drag selecting items. Add iemoHideSelectionRect to hide this
iemoDontSortMultiSelection Include if the selection list should be kept in the order that they were selected. For example, if the user selected item #5, then #3, then #7, if iemoDontSortMultiSelection is included: MultiSelectedImagesList will return in the order, 5, 3, 7. If not included: MultiSelectedImagesList will return in the order, 3, 5, 7
iemoPreventRectSelection By default when multi-selection is enabled, you can click and drag to select multiple items. This option disables that
iemoDontSelectOnAdd By default when a new image is appended or inserted, it becomes selected. Include iemoDontSelectOnAdd to prevent selection of new images (Note: if iemoDontSelectOnAdd and iemoLeaveOneSelected are used together, selection will occur for the first image added)

Use iemoHideSelectionRect to disable the rectangle that is drawn when drag selecting:




Examples

// If you do not specify iemoRegion the entire row is selected when shift selecting:
ImageEnMView1.MultiSelectionOptions := ImageEnMView1.MultiSelectionOptions - [iemoRegion];




// By specifying iemoRegion only the specified columns are selected:
ImageEnMView1.MultiSelectionOptions := ImageEnMView1.MultiSelectionOptions + [iemoRegion];




// Access files in the order that user selects them
ImageEnMView1.MultiSelectionOptions := ImageEnMView1.MultiSelectionOptions + [iemoDontSortMultiSelection];
for i := 0 to ImageEnMView1.MultiSelectedImagesCount - 1 do...

// Allow multi-selection, but disable rect selection (clicking and dragging to select many files)
ImageEnMView1.EnableMultiSelect := True;
ImageEnMView1.MouseInteract := [mmiSelect];
ImageEnMView1.MultiSelectionOptions := ImageEnMView1.MultiSelectionOptions + [iemoPreventRectSelection];
