Re: Booth Martin RE: Mouse selection on a subfile. Getting there

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

*laughing*  I love the Thunderbirds but I don't fly with them now since 
I discovered the excitement of RPG.

You maker a good point.  I never actually did read the selected fields 
into the program, did I.  It must be possible, but I never tried it.  It 
looks to me like you can use the *SLTIND parm to put up checkboxes?  If 
you figure it out, let me know, ok?

The scroll bar is slow?  I have never experienced that.  How large was 
the subfile?  you realize you can also click the little arrow heads at 
the top and bottom of the scroll bar?

In any event, good luck, and keep em flying.

It is slow and sometimes doesn't move the subfile at all until I drag it to the top or bottom and then of course I have to use the page up/down keys. So unless I am doing something totally wrong I shall probably take it out.

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.
