I have a list field ("MyListField") with a rawKeyDown handler that tells me which line is the hilitedLine after every key press.
on rawKeyDown parKey put return & the hilitedLine of me after msg pass rawKeyDown parKey end of rawKeyDown When I press the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys, I see in the message box that the hilitedLine is changing as expected, but the actual highlight in the field is not moving: the top line always remains highlighted. The listBehavior property is true. This weird behavior starts when I use this command: focus on field "MyListField" By contrast, when I place the focus in "MyListField" by clicking it with the mouse, everything works fine. This is all very consistent. So using the "focus on" command is somehow not equivalent to clicking in the list field? The focus is sort of there but not all there? Do I have to do something else besides the "focus on" command? What I am trying to achieve is an emulation of a combobox (because the real combobox in LC, being a hybrid of a field and a button, doesn't work with Unicode texts). So I have a single-line input field and below it a hidden list field. When the user presses the down arrow in the input field, these two lines are executed: show field "ListField" focus on field "MyListField" That's when trouble starts. What am I doing wrong? LC 4.6.1, Windows 7 64-bit.
