Highlight row in dddw (datawindowchild)

[JeroenP]

Hi,

I've got a problem i can't figure out... hope someone can help me.

I've got 2 datawindows, both with a dddw inside.

If a choice is made in dddw1, dddw2 is being retrieved with argument of 1.

I want to insert an EMPTY row, because user does not have to select the second. And i want the empty row to be selected.

This code is being triggered on the itemchanged event of this first dropdowndatawindow.

Code:
string Ls_InstNaam, ls_empty
long ll_newrow

ls_empty = ''

datawindowchild dwc_inst1
datawindowchild dwc_Inst2

dw_instantie_naam_2.Reset()
dw_instantie_naam_1.getChild('instantie_instantie_naam_1', dwc_Inst1)

Ls_InstNaam = dwc_inst1.getItemString(dwc_inst1.getrow(), 'instantie_instantie_naam_1' )

// Not a null value
IF Ls_InstNaam <> &quot;&quot; THEN

dw_instantie_naam_2.getChild('instantie_instantie_naam_2', dwc_inst2)

dwc_Inst2.settrans(SQLCA)
dwc_inst2.Reset()
dwc_inst2.retrieve(Ls_InstNaam)

is_instantie_naam_1 = Ls_InstNaam

dw_instantie_naam_2.Retrieve(Ls_InstNaam)
dwc_Inst2.SetItem( dwc_Inst2.InsertRow(1), 'instantie_instantie_naam_2', ls_empty)

// The deselect and seelct part
dwc_inst2.SelectRow(0, FALSE)
dwc_inst2.Scrolltorow(1)
dwc_inst2.SelectRow(1, TRUE)
END IF

Now the empty row isn't (visualy) selected...
does anyone now the answer?
Using PB6.5

Could it be only that nothing *can* be visualy selected? Have you tried with ls_Empty = ' ' instead? So the spaces would be selected...

Hope it will help...

Nope not realy...
I can see the dddw (number 2) with the wrong row selected.

But if i click the 'downarrow' i see that te correct (the empty) is selected.

But it's just not shown in de dddw..

thnx for the suggestion.

To make a long story short:
----------------
| Value x____|\/ (it's blue (highlighted))
----------------

Then i pres dropDown \/

----------------
| some value |\/ (not blue)
----------------
|My empty value| (blue)
| Value x______| (not blue)

So it is selected i a weird way.. but not show in dddw...

Hi,

A DDDW has a row highlighted only when its parent dw's dddw-column value is set to its data-value. In other words, the &quot;first&quot; row that has the data-value is highlighted in the dddw. You need to set the parent-dw's column's value equal to the dddw's empty-row's data-value to solve your problem :~)
