Hi all,

In many applications I create I find myself doing just one thing - create CRUD interfaces in the admin panel. So far I have been writing code to generate the list of items and everything.

Is it possible to create a recordset form using any API in drupal? Here is what I want to do:

I want to generate a list for my entities [for example products]. It should be very similar to the Gmail inbox - with a checkbox next to each entry and the ability to sort according to any field. Users should be able to check a set of items and select a drop down menu to perform some action. This should be a form of course.

If this isn't possible with the Drupal API out of the box I'd be happy if you can give me a brief outline of how this can be achieved.

Thanks in advance.
