Is there any way to programmically make a certain row on a popup the default selection? In other words, to make the popup automatically have a highlighted selection.

Clay,

Yes there is. The POPUP help does explain that column (field) 28 is the initselect. You can put row numbers (multivalued) in field 28 and those rows will be initially selected.

I tried setting attr 28 (below) to the row I want to be initially selected in the popup, but it doesn't seem to work. The debugger correctly shows 3 in field 28 of PopupOverride. Any suggestions?
CASE EP=OPT.CUST'
  Send_Info(' ')       
  PopupID=EntID('SYSPROG', 'POPUP', '', 'CUSTOMER_POP')
  PopupOverride    ='
  PopupOverride=3
  Ans=Repository('EXECUTE', PopupID, @Window, PopupOverride)
  if Ans ne '' then
     Tmp=Set_Property(@Window:'.CUST_NO','DEFPROP',Ans)
     focus=Set_Property('SYSTEM','FOCUS',@Window:'.LNAME')       
  end
  Send_Info('Press F2 for Popup List... ')
Thanks,

Harold

Harold - this MAY be related to the fact that you are using a REPOSITORY EXECUTE instead of calling POPUP directly. Do you want to try this?

Bingo! It works great when using the POPUP function. I started using the REPOSITORY EXECUTE method way back when based on an example I saw somewhere. The POPUP function requires less code, too. It was confusing because I could affect some popup characteristics via the PopupOverride variable in the REPOSITORY EXECUTE method.

Thanks,

Harold
