IdeaStandardSetController Class
IdeaStandardSetController objects offer Ideas-specific functionality in addition to what is provided by the StandardSetController.
The IdeaStandardSetController and IdeaStandardController classes are currently available through a limited release program. For information on enabling these classes for your organization, contact your Salesforce representative.
In addition to the method listed above, the IdeaStandardSetController class inherits the methods associated with the StandardSetController.
The methods inherited from the StandardSetController cannot be used to affect the list of ideas returned by the getIdeaList method.
An IdeaStandardSetController object cannot be instantiated. An instance can be obtained through a constructor of a custom extension controller when using the standard list controller for ideas.
The following example shows how an IdeaStandardSetController object can be used in the constructor for a custom list controller:

This page must be named profilePage in order for this example to work:
