Clearing Selections

[Anonymous]

When i clear "Current Selections" in my Application when i am in one sheet, focus goes to the first sheet in the App.  Why does focus change and not stay in the current sheet?

Regards.

So when you press Clear, you are clearing the selection in "_View" and the show condition becomes false, correct? And then the only sheet without a show condition is being shown.  Maybe you want to have "Always one selected" set on the _View listbox?

Rob, all sheets have a conditional show.  I am clearing general selections in the application, i.e. any selections.

So when you clear all selections, you clear the _View field?  Then all your sheet show field conditions are false.  QV does not allow having every sheet hidden -- it has to show something -- so it shows the first sheet

Thanks Rob, but the _View field does not appear in "Current Selections"

_View does not appear in the current selections because it is a hidden field. Hidden fields do not appear in the Current Selections box. But they are still subject to Clear.

It became a hidden field via one of two script methods:

1. Set HidePrefix = '_';   // Alll fields that begin with this string will be hidden

2. TAG FIELD _View as $hidden;  // adding the $hidden tag will make this field hidden

Thanks Rob, i am now enlightened.  What is the solution to this behavior.  I do not see any option for "Always one Selected" in the Multibox being use for menu.

"Always one selected" will become an available option on the Presentation tab -- after you select a value.
