PROGRAMMED LIST-BOX SELECTION

[anthonyrichards]

In a dialog application, when a single-selection list-box is populated with a list of items and displayed, no particular item is initially selected and shown highlighted. Is it possible toselect and highlight an item on command from within the program displaying the list without the user having to mouse-click on the list?

Show, yes, but highlight, I don't know!

I use SetDlgItemText to show a default value in a combo box in a QuickWin application. Look at the sample program CelsiCon. (This sample exists in CVF package. I don't know if IVF has it)

Hello,

I think next code should work:

if (callbacktype == dlg_init) then
retlog = DlgSet ( dlg, IDC_LIST1, 3, DLG_NUMITEMS )
retlog = DlgSet ( dlg, IDC_LIST1, "prvni", 1 )
retlog = DlgSet ( dlg, IDC_LIST1, "druha",2 )
retlog = DlgSet ( dlg, IDC_LIST1, "treti", 3 )
CALL DlgFlush(dlg)
retlog = SendMessage(GetDlgItem(Dlg%hWnd,IDC_LIST1),LB_SETCURSEL,1,0)
ENDIF

Items in listbox are zero-based so the second item (druha) should be selected. I am not sure how clean it is (call dlgflush within dlg_init), but it works for me (MSVS .NET2003 + IVF8).

It is a pleasure to reply that it works for me too - exactly as I wanted! Many thanks for your help. (I am using CVF 6.6C, MS windows 2000)
