List Box Current Selection Font

Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:04:18 GMT

I have a list box with a list of Names linked to other databases. What I want to be able to do is to create a button object that can bold or change the color of that selected name only. I need that color change to be persistant. Does anyone know how to make such an object.

What I am trying to do is to sort these names so that they can be group selected later after each name's data analysis is complete. If you have a creative option that I might work, I am open. Thank you very much.

If you're using QV11 then you can use alternate states. See here for a demo. The demo uses more than one listbox to select from, but the idea is the same: select values in a field and add them to a list and then later use that list for a selection. In your case you should only need two alternates states and two listboxes.

The Alternate states worked correctly, but I am having trouble creating the post button. I copied the existing list box to create the alternate state from the Field Normalizedname1. I created two list boxes both pulling from that field called Target List and Posting list. Posting list is the one I set as an alternate state. I tried to create a Select in Field action and a Toggle select action using the expression:

Concat(DISTINCT {[Posting List]} NormalizedName1, '|')

Any Idea what is wrong?
