Select Multiple Rows in a Table without CTRL

Question

Expecting the user to press "Ctrl" when selecting multple rows is very unfriendly and unintuitive. We'd like the row selection to work as in ALV where you just select multiple rows by clicking on them.
We've set the tables rowSelectable to true and selectionMode to 'multi' but we still cannot select multiple rows without the CTRL hotkey.
This issue apparently [arose before|About selection in the table] but wasn't resolved.

Hello Marc,
you need to call IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected(index = lv_index) sorry for the typo in my previous comment.
by calling IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected method wont remove the lead selection.
to unselect the records, you can call the same method by passing the FLAG value as abap_false.
so for your usecase the logic will be like this in the ON_SELECT event handler
1. get the index of the new_lead_selection
2. check whether this is already seleted in the context node by calling IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->IS_selected
3. if already selected then call IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected( flag = abap_false index = lv_index)
   if not selected then call IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected( index = lv_index )
Hope this solved your problem.
BR, Saravanan
