Hi, I want to pass in a the list of objects displayed in the datagrid into my widget and make my widget listen to changes on it. Is this possible? I know I can set the needsEntityContext="true" but it seems to only work with a data view. Thanks, Alex

You could place your widget in a data view that listens to a data grid. Then the object of the data view, which is the selected object in the data grid, is available to your widget. This does not work for multi-select, though.

Thanks for the answer but that is not exactly what I want to accomplish. What I want is a list of objects and do something with it within my widget.

I could also select the entity and use xpath to retrieve all the objects I want, but then I miss the fact that my widget is not refreshed if the data changes. But maybe there is another way from within the widget to make it listen to the entity?

Anyone?
