1209.0. "Selecting multiple entities on the map" by COMICS::WOODWARD (Smile!) Wed Jul 03 1991 14:30

Hi,

A simple question (wish list) regarding the iconinc map (sorry if it's already
been discussed but it wasn't obvious when I ran through the titles in here).

It's possible using windows to select multiple entities (shift MB1). If I do 
this in the map all the entities show as selected and, if they're of the same
type, you can perform operations on them (eg show) BUT only the last selected
entitiy is used, ie you only get one window of info, not one for each selected
entity. 

I know you can use wild-cards in the forms pm, but if I'm using icons why should
I have to go into another pm to issue the commands I want ?

You are correct in that only one management window is created for multiple
entities but you can see execute the operation on any of the entities by
using the Navigation Menu entries Next, Prev, and List.  

If you think it is really important to have each entity in a separate window,
make your wish known -- no guarantees but it could be a customizable piece
of information.

Woops, I'd missed the 'navigation' within the pop-up window, this will suit me
fine.

Thanks,

Steve
