Re: Simple Popup with multiple selection option?

What you want to do can be simple or it can be very complex.

The DisplayList plugin was what I used for many years for this until it became 
part of AreaList. So you could use AreaList.

For me I got Tony Ringsmuth’s DisplayList component...

http://www.bbros.com/DisplayList4D/DL4D_2004_Features.html 


This is a DisplayList plug-in replacement. It really works well and has a few 
nifty features that the plug-in did not have.

It is free to download the source, but if you like it and use it, Tony asks for 
a $99 donation. In my opinion, It is well worth the cost. I use it all the time.

Hey Chip,
Thanks for the tip and the code. I'll give it a shot!

Re: Simple Popup with multiple selection option?

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

Dialog
   &
(array) listbox

- populate the listbox with the needed data
- display using dialog
on accept, process selected items

selected items are TRUE for the list box row (see below code to count 
how many selected)

  //(m) arylstbx_How_Many_Selected
  // $1 - pointer - to listbox

  //RETURNS - longint - number of rows selected in an array based 
listbox.  Returns 0 if none selected
  // ∙ Created 9/6/12 by Chip - 
C_POINTER($1;$Listbox)
C_LONGINT($0;$How_Many;$Last;$Loc)

$Listbox:=$1
$Last:=0

Repeat   //check the array of booleans for selected row(s)
$Loc:=Find in array($Listbox->;True;$Last)

If ($Loc>0)  //something was found
$How_Many:=$How_Many+1
$Last:=$Loc+1
End if 
Until ($Loc<0)
$0:=$How_Many

Simple Popup with multiple selection option?

[Alan Tilson via 4D_Tech]

Hello,

Could someone please point me to a simple way to request information in the
form of a list from which multiple selections may be made? I started to
build a new request form  but it seems like this should almost be an
automatic function!

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Alan
