Hello there, I am working on the project that need to allow user to select multiple documents in a document library and print selected documents together. I found it is hard to implement. I searched online, but I didn't find any good solution. I saw there is implmenation using jquery to add checkbox column into document library. is there the best way to do it? In the server side code, how can I know which documents are selected? Any suggestion will be greated appreciated. Thank you very much Best Regards, Bin

What version of SharePoint are you using? I'll assume 2007 since @010 has a checkbox on the standard view for a document library. You could create a new form with a SPGridView that includes a checkbox and desired functionality, then associate the form with the default view for the list.

Thank you very much for your reply. I am using SharePoint 2007 now. How can I associate the form with the default view of the document library? Should I use webpart? Thank you very much Bin

One way is to use SharePoint Designer to edit the AllItems.aspx file associated with the view. Or you can create a new aspx form and provision it via a feature. Although this is in reference to adding Silverlight element to a page it does give a good overview of the process http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff899329(v=office.12).aspx#SP2007_CustomList[^]
