There's a new KB article Multi-Selecting Rows in Edit Tables in Order to Place the Selected Rows into Another Edit Table. To make a multi-select edit table the article says to put a handler on the GOTFOCUS event of the edit table. Isn't window CREATE the proper event for this handler?

Also the handler destroys and re-creates the edit table. I thought that was necessary only for edit tables ]64K with version 3.7.x. I think the article should mention that. But at least tell me if I'm correct.

And with all the discussion recently on runtime licenses I'd expect the article to carry some statement about destroying and re-creating controls.

Oystien,

I have used the following for a while now:

• ctrl=edit table

• Set Edit Table style to allow multi-row select

cs=ctrl

ps=STYLE'

old_style=get_property(cs, ps)

et_style=field(old_style, @rm, 1)

numb=iconv(et_style-4,4,'MX')

numb += 512

numb=oconv(numb,'MX')

et_style-4,4=fmt('0000':numb,'R#4')

cs=ctrl

ps=STYLE'

ss=et_style

ans=set_property(cs, ps, ss) 

I agree he CREATE event is the best place. You would still need the "Add" code to move the selections to the second edit table.
