by default hilite the 1st line of a list field

[SuperKRL]

Hello.
I've already read the scriptingconferences and made researches on the different topics, but I haven't found (or understand ?) my answer...

I have a list field "myList" with 5 lines.
When I open the card, I would like to display this list with the 1st line highlighted by default and considered like selected.

Hope to be clear, I don't speak English currently...
Thx in advance for your help !

Hi SuperKRL,

welcome to the forum!

You can do something like this in the script of your card:

Code: Select all

on opencard
  set the hilitedlines of fld "your field name here..." to 1
end opencard

...and considered like selected.

Not sure what you mean?
If you mean your list field has a "mouseup" script and consider it "clicked"
then you can add a line:

Code: Select all

on opencard
  set the hilitedlines of fld "your field name here..." to 1
  send "mouseup" to fld "your field name here..."
end opencard

if you mean something different, please explain.


Best

The OP means to consider the process "as if the line was selected", that is, as if it was clicked. You solution is just fine.
