For whatever reason, this is indeed confusing to the user. You right click on an item and it is highlighted, but not selected.
I use this code to assure that the listview really is selecting the item highlighted. --Right Click changes ITEMINDEX but not the actual selected item GETPROPERTY lvTripDetails ITEMINDEX 'vTmp' -- -1 = no items IF vTmp <> '-1' THEN -- have itemindex, make selected match PROPERTY lvTripDetails MAKECLICK .vTmp ENDIF -- Now do right click stuff, if any Dennis McGrath Software Developer QMI Security Solutions 1661 Glenlake Ave Itasca IL 60143 630-980-8461 [email protected] ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wills, Steve Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2011 9:25 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Question About Variable Lookup List Box & Difference Between Left-Click||Right-Click Using a Variable Lookup List Box in a form, I think I've observed a slight but potentially important difference between (Left)Click and Right-Click when invoking an EEP. It seems that Right-Click does not assign the ID value designated in Lookup Settings for the Variable Lookup List Box. This was observed in my own form as well as in MutuallyExclusive from RRBYW17. In simple terms, I am trying to do something VERY similar to that Mutually Exclusive example RBTI/R:azzak/Et Al have shared with us. I just want to use Right-Click instead of (Left-)Click because I think it's a better fit for what I was trying to do. Has anyone else seen this? I'm not saying this is a bug or anything. Perhaps it must work like this and I just don't know why. If it's just one of those tiny, almost-hidden behaviors, just waiting for a goofball like me to discover it, well, I sure would like to use Right-Click ... Thanks, Steve in Memphis
