Dennis,
I have seen no replies to your question but I have also tried to find ways to
get a particular item highlighted and visible without success - except by
cheating!
What I did was force the sorting of the data to place the item I wanted near
the top and then, knowing its position, use that value as the default for the
property command. Not the best thing to do but it does work.
What I would like is to be able to specify a text value rather than an integer
count because the data is growing so the position of the text I want would
change without the cheat I've used.
Regards,
Alastair.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - seting default value in variable ist view
I've come up with this method of making a variable list view selected item
default to a predefined value.
Is there an easier way? Nothing else I tried would make sure the selected
value was forced to be visible.
-- populate variable list view
PROPERTY RVarLookUpPart LOOKUPWHERECLAUSE .vWhere
PROPERTY RVarLookUpPart REFRESHLIST TRUE
--get count of items in listview
GETPROPERTY RVarLookUpPart ITEMCOUNT 'vTmp'
SET VAR vItemCount INTEGER = &vTmp
--click each item and check listview variable against vQPart#
SET VAR vItemIndex INTEGER = 0
WHILE vItemIndex < .vItemCount THEN
PROPERTY RVarLookUpPart MAKECLICK .vItemIndex
IF vNewQPart# = .vQPart# THEN
BREAK --found it
ENDIF
SET VAR vItemIndex = (.vItemIndex +1)
ENDW
IF vItemIndex = .vItemCount THEN - no match found
PROPERTY RVarLookUpPart MAKECLICK 0 -- click first item
ENDIF
PROPERTY RVarLookUpPart VISIBLE TRUE
PROPERTY RVarLookUpPart SET_FOCUS TRUE
Thanks,
Dennis McGrath
