[manueurofax]

In a view DECk how do you know how many items have been selected to apply the Delete command or something?

This is partially true. To summarize, here "you" is app user and not app creator.

The app user visually knows how many records are selected due to the message in the header.

However, currently there is no way for an app creator to know how many records have been selected in "bulk select" option. 

I mean there is no field or column where the selected records count is captured where the field or column with count can be further used in an expression.
