Deleting lines in a scrolling list box?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Scott,

No global variables needed and only one button with one mouseUp handler:

on mouseUp
   if the hilitedLine of fld 1 is not empty then
     delete line (the hilitedLine of fld 1) of fld 1
   else
     beep
   end if
end mouseUp

(Replace "fld 1" with a reference to your field).

Best,

Mark
