Want enterable List Box but no line selection

Hi.

I'm using 4D 2004.8 on Windows. I have a List Box that allows data entry 
into the cells. The default 4D behavior seems to be that when the user 
clicks on a cell, it first selects the line, and then the user must click 
again to start entering data into the cell. Then, when the user later 
clicks or tabs out of the List Box, 4D displays the last-selected line 
with a faint gray background.

I don't want either of those things to happen. I want the user to be able 
to click once into a cell and start typing. Then when he tabs out I want 
all the lines of the List Box to look the same. (Obviously, my app doesn't 
need the concept of a "selected line" on that screen.) Is there a built-in 
attribute that lets me do that, like AreaList has?

I have solved my problem through complicated programming, i.e. trapping 
the various events and using EDIT ITEM and/or SELECT LISTBOX ROW to get 
the effect I want. But I'm hoping there's a simpler way to do it.

Thanks.
- John.

Re: How Do You Determine If A Set Exist

LOL! I'm a compulsive reader so I made it the end of the sentence - but I
was mentally out of breath because of the lack of punctuation. :)

Re: How Do You Determine If A Set Exist

From a blast from the past - this is how I determine if a set exists - I don't!

  ` (M)  z_Util_Set_DoesItExist
  ` z_Util_Set_DoesItExist (Pointer to Table; SetName)
  ` z_Util_Set_DoesItExist ( P; S )

  ` Test if the passed set name exists
  ` If it does do nothing
  ` if it does not - create an empty one for the Table specified
C_POINTER($p_Table;$1)
C_STRING(80;$vs_NameofSet;$2)
C_LONGINT($vl_RecsInSet)

$p_Table:=$1
$vs_NameofSet:=$2
$vl_RecsInSet:=Records in set($vs_NameofSet)
If ($vl_RecsInSet=0)  ` Assume the set does not exist - even if it is it is empty
  CREATE EMPTY SET($p_Table->;$vs_NameofSet)  ` Create a new empty one
Else 
    ` set exists and has records in it  
End if 
  `eom

If you think about it, what you really want is to avoid errors when using the Set either in USE SET or UNION,
INTERSECTION etc. So this avoids the issue by just creating an empty set if the set does not exist or even if
it does, recreate it again as an empty one. In your code just before you do any Set manipulation call this

Cannot get into interpreted Mode??

Ok here goes:

I am dragging the 4D V12 Structure shortcut and dropping it onto the
4D.exe shortcut. All's good it launches and I hold the SHIFT key which
brings up the 4D password dialog. I login as developer/designer and I
am in. However I cannot get into the design mode?

Also tried launching 4D.exe -> Choose 4DB -> choose Data -> Open Interpreted

Nope does not work either.

Hmm..

It's probably related to your license.

SAVE LIST freezes 4D if list editor open

Is there any way to tell whether the list editor is open anywhere on a
4D Server v11.9 client list?
Just that SAVE LIST seems to freeze 4D if the list editor is open (I'm
running 4D Server interpreted).
ON ERR CALL doesn't make any difference.
