Is it possible to set the text color (or other display properties) of a
SINGLE row in a selection-based listbox in 4D v13 when the user clicks
on
that row, without redrawing the whole list?
There's a new command in v14, LISTBOX SET ROW COLOR, but that is v14
and it
only works on array-based listboxes.
Here's what I do now and why it's problematic:
If (Form event = On Selection Change)
¬=A0¬=A0¬=A0REDRAW (myListbox)
End if
I have a method set in the Row Font Color property of the listbox, and
the
REDRAW causes the method to be invoked for every displayed row, which
works
as advertised. However, ¬=A0REDRAW has some undesirable side effects:
If
you
double-click a row, 4D first invokes On Selection Change and then On
Double-Click. I've found that on Windows only (not Mac), the REDRAW
command
prevents On Double-Click from firing (particularly if the user moves
the
cursor after double-clicking).
Thanks,
David

If I remove the REDRAW command from my On Selection Change code, the
Double-Click problem goes away, but I can't change the text color of
the
row the user clicked on, which was the point of calling
REDRAW...unless you
can think of another way.
Thanks,
David

Thanks, but as I said below, I already do that, and it causes problems.

you can place a method in this property that returns an RGB color
value.
I have never done row color based on clicking, but it should be
possible
to set the row color this way
