Hello everyone,

I have a list field, and as I use the Up and Down keys, I want to display the contents of individual lines in another field. The list field's handler below displays the lagged line and not the one that was keyed to because the selected line doesn't change until the pass arrowKey command is invoked and that has to happen at the end for the line to change.

Not sure how to get what I want.

on arrowKey theKey
  if theKey is "Up" or theKey is "Down"
  then
    put the value of the selectedLine of the target into fld "Display"
    pass arrowKey
  end if
end arrowKey

I'd use the "selectionChanged" message handler instead of "arrowKey". This will trigger when the user changes the line by either arrow keys or mouse, so you only need one handler to catch both. Also, you won't need to trap for "up" or "down" because selectionChanged in locked list fields will only trigger with up or down arrow key presses.

I know the docs say this message isn't sent to fields when the arrowkey is used, but there's an exception in list fields, where it is.
