Select a specific line in a listField via hander

[gyroscope]

Another li'l problemette I can't solve: how does one script to select a particular line in a list field (from a returninField handler).

I thought it might be highlitedline but the following code doesn't work to do that. Basically I'm after a text box user entry, a user-pressed return, the text entry added to the end of a list field, then that last line of the list field automatically highlighted (as if mouse-selected):

Code: Select all

on returninField
   set the listBehaviour of me to true
   put return after line -1 of field "List Field"
   put me after line -1 of field "List Field"
 set the Hilitedline of field "List Field" to -1
end returninField

Can any one help please?

edit: oops, think I may have misread your question. Will go look for the right stuffs.

Look at selectedChunk, and selectedLine

quite a few "selected" items, one of em should be what you're looking for.


Have a good one

If you're sure it will always be the last line you need, try this.

Code: Select all

select the last line of me

assuming the handler is part of the listbox. If its elsewhere use the long name

select the last line of field "fieldname"
