PageBlockTable checkbox selecting multiple records

I have a custom vf page on a Quote page layout to display all the Quote Lines in a page block table.  The standard related list was far to limited for what we need.  I have the table displaying correctly with the first column being a checkbox with a select all box in the header.  What I want to happen is to link to another page to edit just the selected records when a user clicks a button on the page.  This has to be very simple but I can not figure out how to capture the selected records in the pageblock table and pass those to my new edit page.  

 

Thanks,

Justin

This functionality as you explained requires to process only the selected records - this can well be acheived using the Wrapper class:

The example and sample code should give you an idea as to how you can edit the VF page.

Sonam, thanks for your quick response.  I think that has got me a good start.  I got that to work with my objects but after I have my selected records list what is the best way to pass that collection to a new page so I can load another table just showing the records selected on the previous page so that they can be edited in mass?

 

So the flow would be vf page 1 has a table of all quote lines with checkboxes and a button to edit quote lines.  Quote Lines will be selected and the edit button will be clicked which will redirect to vf page 2 which will have all the selected records in a table for editing.

 

Also, If I do not use the standard Quote controller how can I make my custom vf page show up on the quote page layout?

 

Thanks,

Justin

For Quote page layout :

use apex:detail to show the detail as shown on the standard page  http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_detail.htm

 

use apex:relatedlist to get the related lists on the Quote standard page:
