Hi,
I have two fields where a user hilites single or multiple lines in
field "aChoiceList" and then presses a button "Yes" which copies the
selected lines into field "aSelectedList".
What I am wanting to do is to some how gray out the lines and disable
them from being selected in field "aChoiceList" that now show in the
field "aSelectedList.
If the user selects lines in the field "aSelectedList and clicks
another button "return" then the lines are removed from the field
"aSelectedList and the associated lines in the field "aChoiceList"
become ungrayed and available to select again in the future.
I have tried the following but as soon as the user clicks any line in
the field "aChoiceList" then the hilites are gone and it is still
possible for them to select and copy the same line again --undesired.
on mouseUp
lock screen
if fld "aSelectedList" is not empty then
put cr after fld "aSelectedList"
end if
put hilitedlines of fld "aChoiceList" into aclist
repeat for each item l in the hilitedlines of fld "aChoiceList"
put line l of fld "aChoiceList" & cr after fld "aSelectedList"
end repeat
set the hilitedlines of fld "aChoiceList" to aclist
if fld "aSelectedList" is not empty then
delete last char of fld "aSelectedList"
end if
unlock screen
end mouseUp
