Another Newbie List Box Question
by Stephen J. Orth
::
Rate this Message:
I have an array based List Box, and I want to allow the user to be able to
enter values in the second column of the list box. Is the Edit Item command the correct way to accomplish this, or is there a better command that would allow me to designate that the entire column is editable? The Edit Item command only works on a cell. Thanks in advance!

Steve--
After selecting the LB object in the form editor, click on a column and check the Enterable attribute box. Seems like a bunch of us are confronting list boxes for the first time...

Ok, I have this figured out, but something weird is happening.
I am setting the individual cell to enterable, via the Edit Item command....however, when this happens the cell becomes completely white, and you can't see what your typing, until you leave the cell. What am I doing wrong here, as this seems odd. Why can't we see what we are typing? Steve -----Original Message----- From: 4d_tech-bounces@... [mailto:4d_tech-bounces@...] On Behalf Of Stephen J.

Steve,
In the design environment, you can set the array as enterable- you can select a specific array within a listbox as well as selecting the listbox itself. Or, at runtime you can call Set Enterable on the array.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I did go back and read the documentation
again, and have found the suggestions everyone is mentioning. My problem now is that when the cell is enterable, you cannot see what your typing until you leave the cell. This can't be normal, and something must be configured wrong...yes?

My guess is that it's the highlight or field color. Works OK here, and
I generally see problems most others don't complain about. 8-) Bill On Nov 12, 2009, at 3:32 PM, Stephen J. Orth wrote: > Thanks to everyone who responded.

That is definitely not normal. Is the same array being used elsewhere in the
same form? This has bitten me in the past- even having the same array on a different page will cause problems. I don't have any other ideas off the top of my head.

Doug,
No, this array is specific to this List Box...but thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the suggestion, however I don't see where you set the highlight or field color. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
