Karen, If you look at the From the Edge sample application, you will see that you can Multi-Select rows the traditional ways (Control-click), and you can multi-check with the little checkbox, but they are totally separate lists of rows. The variable that is assigned to the listview can be used to collect a comma-separated list of the key column values for the currently SELECTED rows. And the GETPROP componentID CHECKEDROWS 'variablename' can collect a comma-separated list of the key column values for the currently CHECKED rows.
One thing I want to do is let a user do something that says "check all the rows where column whatsit has the value "B". But I can't find the list of item indexes of the "B" rows to use something like PROP componentid 'ITEMS[n]->CHECKED' 'true' on each one.
