Extending P4Admin and P4V
Detect and set selection
To detect user-selected files and folders or to select files and folders from a script, use the
getSelection and setSelection methods. The following example creates a simple tab
that exercises both. Note the use of the p4selection event, which is raised by P4V when
the user selects a file or folder in the depot pane..
P4JsApi.setWebKitDeveloperExtrasEnabled(
true);
function reportSelection(v) {
var sel = "";
for (var idx = 0; idx < v.length; ++idx)
sel += v[idx] + "";
document.getElementById("currentSel").innerHTML = sel;
}
document.addEventListener('p4selection', function(e) {
reportSelection(e.customData);
});
function selectPaths() {
var pathlist = document.getElementById("paths").value;
var paths = pathlist.split(',');
var selList = [];
for (var idx = 0; idx < paths.length; ++idx) {
var path = paths[idx].trim();
selList.push("p4:///files" + path);
}
P4JsApi.setSelection(selList, function(v) { console.log('complet
ed: ' + v); });
}
