Re: Mouse selection on a subfile.

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is an example of what you want.

or

The keywords that interest you are SFLSNGCHC and SFLMLTCHC and 
MOUBTN(*ULD ENTER).

It is in my memory that you can not use SFLLIN  and SFLMLTCHC at the 
same time, but my memory is notoriously unreliable so you may want to 
review the manual.

The user can use the mouse click or the space bar to toggle selections.

By the way, note that this example uses the scroll bar.  The scroll bar 
works just like the scroll bar anywhere else.  It is not crippled or 
lacking features.  It seems ideal for your application.  Be sure to use 
a load-all subfile and pass the subfile size as an accurate number to 
get the fullest benefit if you do decide to add a scrollbar

I have tried using MOUBTN and PSHBTNFLD today (for the first time) going thru the examples and documents I can find on the net and in here, and they work fine, but they are for a single event, ie Enter, Exit etc. what I want to do is flag all the records they want and then process them en masse. I have tried various things but none even compile.
