Use LstGetSelectionText to the text of a list item.
pObj1 = GetObjectPtr(pForm, iListID)
LstGetSelectionText(pObj1, iSelection) // Returns a pointer to the list
text
Then use a function like the following to place the text into your field
static void SetFieldText(Word FieldId, char *Str) {
VoidHand hTextNew;
VoidHand hTextOld;
VoidPtr pField;
FormPtr pForm;
FieldPtr fpField;
pForm = FrmGetActiveForm(); // Get field pointer
fpField = GetObjectPtr(pForm, FieldId);
hTextNew = MemHandleNew(StrLen(Str)+16); // Allocate memory
pField = MemHandleLock(hTextNew); // Get pointer to memory
and lock
StrCopy(pField, Str); // Copy string
hTextOld = (VoidHand)FldGetTextHandle(fpField);// Get old pointer to text
FldSetTextHandle(fpField, (Handle)hTextNew); // Set the field's new text
MemHandleUnlock(hTextNew); // Unlock memory
FldDrawField(fpField);
if (hTextOld != NULL) // Free old pointer
MemHandleFree(hTextOld);
return;
