Yes. It's even more easy using collections. > In other words, are there LISTBOX SET xx calls to identify the names of the > variables unique to entity/collection boxes: the collection/entity source; > the current item; the current item position; and the selected items? No new listbox commands are needed, since we have the "Form" command. I'm using the naming convention: Form.LBA Form.itemA Form.indexA Form.selectedA where "A" uniquely identies the listbox collection. If more than one listbox is present on the form, the "A" becomes "B", "C" and so on. So the listbox properties would show these references: https://i.postimg.cc/SxB6FPPL/collection-listbox.png <https://i.postimg.cc/SxB6FPPL/collection-listbox.png> Use the "LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN FORMULA” command to create columns. Remember to prefix attribute names with “This." > On Oct 29, 2018, at 6:21 AM, Jeremy Roussak via 4D_Tech > <[email protected]> wrote: > > It’s great to be able to make generic listboxes and set them up entirely in > code.
