QUESTION:
I created a dbList with a list of orders. Every time I close the dbList, the highlighted record is displayed at the top of the list when I reopen the view containing the dbList. What can I do to display it in the middle -- like the selection lists do?
ANSWER:
You can override the initialize_list method so it will only execute the first time the list is displayed. For example:
Create an integer property like:
property integer piLoadTime 1
In the dbList, override the initilize_list method with:
Procedure Initialize_List
Integer iLoad
Get piLoadTime to iLoad
If (iLoad = 1) Begin
Increment iLoad
Set piLoadTime to iLoad
Forward Send initialize_list
End
End_Procedure
This should make your dbList behave as you described.
KEYWORD:
lookup list, selection list
