Re: Mouse selection on a subfile.

Here is an example of what you want.

http://www.martinvt.com/Code_Samples/2_subfiles/2_subfiles.html

or

http://tinyurl.com/8v4q8
The keywords that interest you are SFLSNGCHC and SFLMLTCHC and MOUBTN(*ULD ENTER).
It is in my memory that you can not use SFLLIN and SFLMLTCHC at the same time, but my memory is notoriously unreliable so you may want to review the manual. 

The user can use the mouse click or the space bar to toggle selections.
By the way, note that this example uses the scroll bar. The scroll bar works just like the scroll bar anywhere else. It is not crippled or lacking features. It seems ideal for your application. Be sure to use a load-all subfile and pass the subfile size as an accurate number to get the fullest benefit if you do decide to add a scrollbar

Hi Chaps and chapesses,

I have a subfile where the user can select one or more records. Basically it is 
just a code for air waybills (xxx xxxx xxxx) so the subfile is displayed in 
four columns with a select field in front of each code. Now I thought it would 
make the users life easier if he/she could select the records by mouse. So the 
scenario is that the user clicks on as many records per screen as they want and 
then press enter to process them. This process is to replace the current one 
where the user has to go thru 3 screens per AWB with mucho repeatative keying 
of data.
So am I being too ambitious? 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. Can it be done?
