Razzak, Looks like R:Docs 9.5 is leading us astray.

Bruce, By design, the "GETPROPERTY <VarListViewCompID> TOPITEM vTopItem" is intended to "retain" the position of last selected item in the list especially after an EEP, such as, On Click EEP, On Double Click EEP, or On Right Click EEP that REFRESHes all the items in the Variable Lookup ListView. Here's an example of using TOPITEM ... -- Variable Lookup ListView (On Double-Click EEP) CLEAR VARIABLE vTopItem SET VAR vTopItem TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY Cust_ListView TOPITEM vTopItem CLS EDIT USING Customers WHERE CustID = .vCustID PROPERTY Cust_ListView REFRESHLIST 'TRUE' PROPERTY Cust_ListView TOPITEM .vTopItem CLEAR VARIABLE vTopItem RETURN This will always retain the last selected position in the ListView. FWIW, 2013 SAT Sample Application Pack includes an application that illustrates the use of TOPITEM property in Variable Lookup ListView.
