public abstract class MultiplePropertySelection
extends org.apache.tapestry.form.AbstractFormComponent
implements org.apache.tapestry.form.ValidatableField

A component which uses <input type=checkbox> to set a property of some object. Typically, the values for the object are defined using an org.apache.commons.lang.enum.Enum. A MultiplePropertySelection is dependent on an {link IPropertySelectionModel} to provide the list of possible values.

Often, this is used to select one or more org.apache.commons.lang.enum.Enumto assign to a property; the org.apache.tapestry.form.EnumPropertySelectionModelclass simplifies this.

The Palettecomponent is more powerful, but requires client-side JavaScript and is not fully cross-browser compatible.

Parameter	Type	Direction	Required	Default	Description
selectedList	java.util.List	in-out	yes		The property to set. During rendering, this property is read, and sets the default value of the options in the select. When the form is submitted, list is cleared, then has each selected option added to it.
renderer	IMultiplePropertySelectionRenderer	in	no	shared instance of CheckBoxMultiplePropertySelectionRenderer	Defines the object used to render this component. The default renders a table of checkboxes.
model	IPropertySelectionModel	in	yes		The model provides a list of possible labels, and matches those labels against possible values that can be assigned back to the property.
disabled	boolean	in	no	false	Controls whether the <select> is active or not. A disabled PropertySelection does not update its value parameter. Corresponds to the disabled HTML attribute.

Informal parameters are not allowed.

As of 4.0, this component can be validated.
