Highlight Bar and CHOOSE ROW changed in 5.2E and after
900619-JEP01
INTRODUCTION: Date Last Modified: 1/9/96
=============
This Product Services Technical Support Library document explains
how to modify your PROGRESS code to maintain the Version 4 function-
ality of CHOOSE ROW and have the highlight bar turn off after a
record has been selected.
WHY YOU NEED TO DO THIS:
========================
In order to maintain continuity between CHOOSE ROW and CHOOSE FIELD,
CHOOSE ROW has been changed slightly in Version 5.2E and later.
After a record is selected with CHOOSE ROW, the highlight bar remains
on the screen. This is how CHOOSE FIELD has worked since Version
4.2A.
You may need to modify your PROGRESS code so the highlight bar turns
off after a record has been selected because you may not want the
highlight bar to remain on, as it now does in Version 5.2E and later.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
To maintain Version 4 functionality of CHOOSE ROW and have the
highlight bar turn off, use a COLOR DISPLAY NORMAL statement, followed
by PAUSE 0, after the CHOOSE. For example:
.
.
CHOOSE ROW customer.cust-num WITH FRAME a.
COLOR DISPLAY NORMAL customer.cust-num WITH FRAME a.
PAUSE 0.
.
The PAUSE statement is necessary so that the DISPLAY statement does
not wait for a keystroke.
ONLINE PROCEDURES OR UTILITIES:
===============================
None
