To follow up a little bit - After working with the above code I'm starting to really like it.
First a correction, where it says " $subList:=New list" change it to " $subList:=0". As soon as the next line is executed $sublist gets assigned a new list anyway and this is a memory leak. The other change I made is to write the full path to the key as another parameter. The benefit with this is I have that path to use for updating the c-obj when something is changed. It turns out to be pretty simple to handle editing the values. I added an enterable variable to the form and hide it. When I double click on the display hList I can get all the relevant bits easily: : (Form event=On Double Clicked) GET LIST ITEM(Self->;*;$itemRef;$itemText) GET LIST ITEM PARAMETER(Self->;$itemRef;Additional text;$value) GET MOUSE($x;$y;$mousebutton) GET LIST PROPERTIES(Self->;$appearance;$icon;$lineHeight) OBJECT GET COORDINATES(Self->;$left;$top;$right;$bottom) And with a little math determine the x,y and width of where the to position my hidden variable relative to the hList: $n:=($y-$top)\$lineHeight // n lines from top of the list $y:=$top+($n*$lineHeight) $x:=$left+150 // the 150 is arbitrary $width:=$right-$x-18 // 18 is for the scroll bar Then just move it into place, make if visible and put $value into it. This is when I realized having the full path to the value is useful - much easier than having to work it out by walking back up the list. -- Kirk Brooks San Francisco, CA ======================= *The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.* *- Edmund Burke* ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
