communicating between custom widget and OOTB table widget

[wanderer1]

Hi

I am building a custom widget that makes a selection on the map. To have the corresponding rows highlighted in the OOTB table widget how do I go about doing this?

Can I use 

MessageManager.getInstance().publishMessage(

               new DataRecordsSelectionChangeMessage(props.widgetid, ds.records, [props.dataSource.id])

or do I need to extend the current table widget to listen to a new message I send from my custom widget?

Thanks

Hi @wanderer1 ,you can try select the record by dataSource.selectRecordById(recordId, record) or dataSource.selectRecordsByIds(recordIdArray, recordArray).

The table will hightlight these records automatically.

Hi @Allen_Zhang 

That is what I have tried doing and it does select on the map, but not in the table.

dataSource.query({ objectIds: [ "1","2"], returnGeometry : true }).then((qr) => {

          dataSource.selectRecordsByIds?.(

            qr.records.map((item) => item.getId())

          );

        });

Was missing the second argument. Thank you!
