The MultiChoice widget allows selecting multiple values from a list of options. It falls into the broad category of multi-value, option-selection widgets that provide a compatible API and include the MultiSelect, CrossSelector, CheckBoxGroup and CheckButtonGroup widgets. The MultiChoice widget provides a much more compact UI than MultiSelect.

Basic Usage#


The MultiChoice widget allows selecting multiple values from a list of options:


multi_choice = pmui.MultiChoice(label='MultiChoice', value=['Apple', 'Pear'],
    options=['Apple', 'Banana', 'Pear', 'Strawberry'])

pmui.Column(multi_choice, height=250)








MultiChoice.value returns a list of the currently selected options:


multi_choice.value





['Apple', 'Pear']


The options parameter also accepts a dictionary whose keys are going to be the labels of the dropdown menu.


ages = pmui.MultiChoice(
    label='Ages', options={'Ten': 10, 'Twenty': 20, 'Thirty': 30}, height=200
)

ages








ages.value





[]


Updating the value will display the right label.


ages.value = [20, 30]









Filled and Standard Variants#


pmui.Row(
    pmui.MultiChoice(label='Fruits', value=['Apple', 'Pear'], options=['Apple', 'Banana', 'Pear', 'Strawberry'], variant="standard"),
    pmui.MultiChoice(label='Fruits', value=['Apple', 'Pear'], options=['Apple', 'Banana', 'Pear', 'Strawberry'], variant="filled"),
    height=200
)












Chips#


By default the selections are rendered as chips, this can be disabled with chip=False, alternatively the chip variant can be toggled with solid=False:


pmui.Row(
    pmui.MultiChoice(label='Fruits', value=['Apple', 'Pear'], options=['Apple', 'Banana', 'Pear', 'Strawberry'], chip=False),
    pmui.MultiChoice(label='Fruits', value=['Apple', 'Pear'], options=['Apple', 'Banana', 'Pear', 'Strawberry'], solid=False)
)












Colors#


pn.FlexBox(*[pmui.MultiChoice(
    label=color, value=['Apple', 'Pear'], options=['Apple', 'Banana', 'Pear', 'Strawberry'], color=color
) for color in pmui.Select.param.color.objects])












Disabled & Loading#


Like all widgets the MultiChoice supports disabled and loading states:


pmui.MultiChoice(label='Ages', options=['Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty'], disabled=True, loading=True)












Searchable#


You can make the MultiChoice widget searchable.


pmui.MultiChoice(label='Age', options=['Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty'], searchable=True, height=350)








You can configure whether options are filtered or merely highlighted on search.


pmui.Row(
    pmui.MultiChoice(label='Age', options=['Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty'], searchable=True, filter_on_search=True),
    pmui.MultiChoice(label='Age', options=['Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty'], searchable=True, filter_on_search=False),
    height=350
)








You may provide a default string to filter on:


pmui.MultiChoice(label='Age', options=['Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty', 'Fourty', 'Fifty'], searchable=True, filter_str="F", height=250)













Disabled Options#


A subset of the displayed items can be disabled with disabled_options. The widget value cannot be set to one of the disabled_options, either programmatrically or with the user interface.


pmui.MultiChoice(label='Age', options=['Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty'], disabled_options=['Twenty'], height=200)












Bookmarks#


pmui.MultiChoice(label='Age', options=['Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty', 'Fourty', 'Fifty'], bookmarks=['Ten', 'Fourty'], height=250).show()
