Here' how ... Use the following exact code, as On Click EEP: -- On Click EEP CLEAR VARIABLE vItemIndexTxt,vItemIndexInt SET VAR vItemIndexTxt TEXT = NULL SET VAR vItemIndexInt INTEGER = NULL GETPROPERTY VLCB_Sample ITEMINDEX vItemIndexTxt SET VAR vItemIndexInt = (INT(.vItemIndexTxt)) PAUSE 2 USING .vItemIndexTxt + CAPTION 'Capturing ItemIndex Values ...' + ICON INFO + BUTTON 'Press any key to continue ...' + OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME Tahoma + |MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR NAVY + |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 11 + |THEMENAME Longhorn RETURN Try that exercise and what you get? Magic! Remember, the returned values for GETPROPERTY command are always TEXT. That's all there is to it!
