VFW106 – Using a List Collection

1. Switch to the reusable part iiiVFW32 in the editor (Monthly Command Handler for Reports).

2. In the Design view, drag and drop the Selected Employees form, iiiVFW33 onto the panel. This will create a Define_Com for the component. Change its Name to #Selected_Employees.

3. Complete the SelectionChanged method to invoke the Selected_Employees form's uShow method, passing the list collection (with the name SELECTION).

     Your code should look like the following. New code is highlighted in red.

Mthroutine Name(SelectionChanged)
Define_Com Class(#PRIM_LCOL<#iiivfw33>) Name(#SELECTION)
Selectlist Named(#EMP_VIEW)
Continue If(*Not #EMP_VIEW.CURRENTITEM.SELECTED)
#SELECTION.INSERT( #EMPLOYEES<#EMPNO> )
Endselect

#Selected_Employees.uShow( #SELECTION )
