Step 2 Handle Selected Items

Step 2. Handle Selected Items

VFW052 – Build a Working List of Selected Items

1.  Create an ItemGotSelection event handling routine for the list view. Add code which:

• Changes STD_TEXTS to YES

• Updates entry in the list view

• Add Salary to TOTSALARY

2.  Create an ItemLostSelection event handling routine. Add code which

• Changes STD_TEXTS to blank

• Updates entry in the list view

• Subtracts Salary from TOTSALARY.

     Your code should look like the following:

Evtroutine Handling(#LTVW_1.ItemGotSelection) Options(*NOCLEARMESSAGES *NOCLEARERRORS)
#std_texts := 'YES'
Upd_Entry In_List(#LTVW_1)
#TOTSALARY := #TOTSALARY + #salary
Endroutine
Evtroutine Handling(#LTVW_1.ItemLostSelection) Options(*NOCLEARMESSAGES *NOCLEARERRORS)
#std_texts := *blanks
Upd_Entry In_List(#LTVW_1)
#TOTSALARY := #TOTSALARY - #salary
Endroutine
