Hey All,

I have been playing around with this for a few hours and cant seem to find an easy  way to add a checkbox to every line in the Study Explorer.

I would like the user to be able to check/uncheck the checkbox at will...

Can someone please give me some insight?

I'm new too, but I'll take a crack at this.  I've been creating a new Study Browser plugin that goes to our own database, so I've been in the StudyBrowserComponent code a lot. 

Here's how you could do it:

In StudyBrowserComponent.AddColumns() put this near the top:

studyList.Columns.Add(new TableColumn<VIMSStudyItem, bool>(<br />
"Checked",<br />
delegate(VIMSStudyItem item) <br />
{<br />
return item.Checked;<br />
},<br />
delegate(VIMSStudyItem item, bool isChecked)<br />
{<br />
item.Checked = isChecked;<br />
},<br />
0.5f<br />
)); 

 You also need to change the StudyItem class to have a public bool property called Checked.

To use the Checked flag you would also need to change the SelectedStudies property to search the list and return the Checked StudyItems ig that's what you want to Open.  But now this is starting to muddle the ViewModel concepts of Selection and Checked.

So, that's how you could add a check box, but being new here, I don't know if that's the right way to do it.

That is exactly how we have been doing check-boxes.  Note that there is class in Desktop called Checkable which you can use to wrap your object and then base your Table on that.
