MultiSelect Widget

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Kai,

i would like to have a widget, where i may select multiple items. at the moment 
i have a switch with mapping, but i can select only one item, but i would like 
select more than one....

i need it for a sceduler, the air condition should run only few hours, those i 
would like to select, may be in one widget a set of bits would be great, one 
bit for each button, at the moment the workaround is with 24 buttons ....

Every widget displays exactly one item, so the 24 item solution does not look 
too bad to me :-)
Having one widget controlling several items does not easily fit into the 
current architecture. I think your request is very similar to the wish to have 
grid layout options, with such a layout you could also realize your scheduler 
easily. But unfortunately, we are stil far from such a layout option.

thanks for answering

for rules and calculations it would be nicer to hav one item instead of 24 to 
get the state.... each item could represent one bit and you could get the set 
or unset information with an AND. But anyhow it works also with an loop over 
item of an specific group. could you please add some more informations about 
groups and aggregation and so in in the wiki ?

Thanks in advance
