You could set up a column in the block which could be "checked" by the
user.  When commit is pressed, use a procedure to loop through all rows
in your block, processing each one that was "checked".

This takes some programming on your part, but I know it will work.
Although I have no experience with check-boxes, this sounds like a
good example of where they might be used.

Hope this helps.
