1. list problem
I have created a list of things "create (List, .......) " and would like to
display detail info about the item highlighted in the status bar. The only
way I know to do this is to trap arrow keys, pageup, pagedown home, end and
mouse click so I know that an item was highlighted. My problem is windows
selects the item AFTER i have done a getItem, so I am one behind. I have set
returnValue(-1) but it doesen't help.
Does anyone know how I can detect which item is selected w/o having to trap
all the keys..... or otherwise shed some light on the problem?

George,
Did you use the "onMouse" event, similar to what's done in the demo
"RtClick"?

Hey George, something in your program isnt right I think. You shouldnt have
to do all of that to detect a change. Send me your code and I will look at
it...

or this, it's easier:
-- code generated by Win32Lib IDE v0.10.5
include Win32Lib.ew
without warning
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
-- Window Window1
global constant Window1 = create( Window, "Window1", 0, Default, Default,
400, 300, 0 )
global constant List2 = create( List, "List2", Window1, 16, 16, 152, 188,
or_all({LBS_MULTIPLESEL,LBS_EXTENDEDSEL}) )
global constant LText3 = create( LText, "LText3", Window1, 192, 40, 164, 36,
0 )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
for n = 1 to 10 do
addItem(List2, sprint(n))
end for
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
procedure List2_onChange ()
setText(LText3, getItem(List2,getIndex( List2 )))
end procedure
onChange[List2] = routine_id("List2_onChange")
WinMain( Window1, Normal )

5. Re: list problem
the demo I sent would work better if the extended select styles were
replaced with 0.

Thanks for the help. I was going about it the hard way. the 'on change did
the trick and a lot easier.....
onChange[List2] = routine_id("List2_onChange")
