Remembering Selections in ExtJS Grid with Paging On

Question

I have the following example available:

Ext.onReady(function(){

    var myData = [

    // example of custom renderer function
    function change(val){
        if(val > 0){
            return '<span style="color:green;">' + val + '</span>';
        }else if(val < 0){
            return '<span style="color:red;">' + val + '</span>';
        }
        return val;
    }

    // example of custom renderer function
    function pctChange(val){
        if(val > 0){
            return '<span style="color:green;">' + val + '%</span>';
        }else if(val < 0){
            return '<span style="color:red;">' + val + '%</span>';
        }
        return val;
    }

    // create the data store
    var store = new Ext.data.Store({
        proxy: new Ext.ux.data.PagingMemoryProxy(myData),
        remoteSort:true,
        sortInfo: {field:'price', direction:'ASC'},
        reader: new Ext.data.ArrayReader({
            fields: [
               {name: 'company'},
               {name: 'price', type: 'float'},
               {name: 'change', type: 'float'},
               {name: 'pctChange', type: 'float'},
               {name: 'lastChange', type: 'date', dateFormat: 'n/j h:ia'}
            ]
        })
    });

    // create the Grid
    var grid = new Ext.grid.GridPanel({
        store: store,
        columns: [
            {id:'company',header: "Company", width: 160, sortable: true, dataIndex: 'company'},
            {header: "Price", width: 75, sortable: true, renderer: 'usMoney', dataIndex: 'price'},
            {header: "Change", width: 75, sortable: true, renderer: change, dataIndex: 'change'},
            {header: "% Change", width: 75, sortable: true, renderer: pctChange, dataIndex: 'pctChange'},
            {header: "Last Updated", width: 85, sortable: true, renderer: Ext.util.Format.dateRenderer('m/d/Y'), dataIndex: 'lastChange'}
        ],
        stripeRows: true,
        autoExpandColumn: 'company',
        height:320,
        width:600,
        frame:true,
        title:'Sliding Pager',

        plugins: new Ext.ux.PanelResizer({
            minHeight: 100
        }),

        bbar: new Ext.PagingToolbar({
            pageSize: 10,
            store: store,
            displayInfo: true,

            plugins: new Ext.ux.ProgressBarPager()
        })
    });

    grid.render('grid-example');

    store.load({params:{start:0, limit:10}});
});

How would I go about remembering and reading the selections made on each page?

I don't want to include check boxes if I can.

Any help would be fantastic.

Answer 1

You could use the Ext.utils.Cookies class and the selection/deselection events in the SelectionModel to record which rows on what pages are selected. You'd also have to hook into the paging and or the load event of the store to reapply the selections when you change pages.

Answer 2

You could also use a mixed collection to build up a collection of record. Wherever your selection event happens, you can read in the selection and add it to the mixed collection.
