Can I also clear the selection from one object?

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:47:57 GMT

I like to do an action on a button or a trigger, that will clear the selection of 1 object (listbox).

I see "Clear All" and "Clear Other Fields", but not clear one specific field.

Thanks in advance.

Try a select in field action with the field you want to clear and an empty search string.

Awakening nearly a year old topic...

I can get this working with an ordinary field.

But not with a field that I have in a list box where I have activated the "Always One Selected Value" option on "General tab" in the "List box proporties". I want to use this list box as a radio button function, but only on one sheet. Therefore I activated the trigged when deactivating the sheet that I wanted a field cleared.

Is it possible for a work-around on this?

Thanks for your replys.

Best,

Filip

Filip,

"Always One Selected Value" option will prevent you from clearing the selection in that field.

You can probably disable / enable this option by Macro when leaving / entering the sheet (probably also restoring the selected value).

An easier approach is IMHO using a so called Alternate State for your sheet where you need the Always one selected Value option (this is a new feature in QV11, check the "What's new in QV11" app if needed).

I suggest that you open a new thread, so you will get more attention to your issue from the community.
