Hi.

The scripts you have for the list field display (in the message box) the new clicked line on mouseDown, and retain the previous one, but then that info is duplicated on mouseUp (or mouseRelease). The action in the field itself is identical to one with no scripts at all. Did you want to store the clickLine history? I don't get what you mean when you say the user clicks outside the field.

No. If you clic outside the fld the hilitedlines = the num of the clicked line

I confess, I'm really struggling to know what you are trying to achieve as the result here. I am probably wrong, but I feel that you may have a list field which has a selection made. If the user clicks outside that list field, then the selection reverts to the line previously selected?
So I may choose line 3, and you want that line to be preserved, so that if I were to choose line 7 and then click outside the field, the field would revert to show line 3 selected?
If that is the case then you could use a selectionChanged handler to catch the event and rotate a pair of values in custom properties of the field. A mouseUp handler on the card could check for a click, and check that it was outside the field, restoring the line to the value preserved in the custom property.
I adapted your stack to add a field showing in action what I mean, hoping that this is even remotely correct. If not, please can you explain a bit more what it is you are trying to achieve?

Hi SparkOut
Thank for your reply

Yes

Code: Select all

Yes. That is a best way for me

A mouseUp handler on the card could check for a click, and check that it was outside the field, restoring the line to the value preserved in the custom property.

No. The mouseup handler is not catched by the card. MousereleaseListFld01.rev avoid the script cd
