Help please. How to manipulate the screen in a multiselect selection in Documentum WDK 16.7.9

It's at least 15 years since I did Webtop development, I think you will need

• a custom action to call your custom component
• a custom component to do display your custom form for one object.
• This custom component needs to managed by a combocontainer which manages IDs and processing for multiple objects

Extends the component wizardcontainer and adds support for multiple instances of the same contained component. This allows the user to perform multi-select operations for a component. An Apply to all prompt is displayed when the user selects multiple operations.

from: wdk\config\combocontainer_component.xml

When developing something new, I searched for something similar in webtop, to see how that was put together.

When I was a Webtop developer I created a source code reference from

• unzip webtop.war
• decompile the java in from webtop war
• unzip the unstripped.jar from webtop war
  • It is easier to read and use well formatted and commented code
• unzip wdk.war over above
  • again It is easier to read and use well formatted and commented code
• unzip any source code from wdk.war

There are development and reference guides, but nothing beats source code.

Documentation and software (wars files and patches) can be downloaded from product pages in support portal
