I have a data grid that has close to 500,000 records on it and users would like to select all records and deselect lets say 50 records from the existing records. This is achievable programatically (with a lot of custom code), but I was wondering if there was a way to implement this better.

Currently -> users do Ctrl+A and then press and hold ctrl and deselect the unwanted records and then proceed.

One way i thought of is how Gmail handles things -> For select ALL (show the total count to be selected once checkbox is selected) and then once user deselects a record -> Set select all to the records avaliable in the current view (Page)

    Welcome to the site, which aims to improve design independent of implementations. I have the feeling your question is about how to implement rather than what to implement. Can you clarify your question? (Not everyone uses GMail and a vendor-independent description is needed, for example.) Commented Oct 16 at 7:29
  • Can you describe when you have achieved “better”? In other words it would help to describe the exact problem and tell why the current situation is not sufficient or what user goal needs to be fulfilled. Commented Oct 17 at 7:22
  • Will a filter to remove the unnecessary 50 solve it? I have worked on a similar case where you try to export search results irrespective of pagination. A simple filter or set of filters to exclude the unnecessary should do it. Commented Oct 22 at 10:12
