1998-06-22 -- Johan Rademan
 
It needs two local variables
loc:last_fld                long
loc:selected_fld        long

and add this code to the following embed

CASE EVENT() structure, before generated code


the code to embed

Of Event:Selected
   ! save the currently selected field, so that the selected function not
called many times
   loc:selected_fld = Selected()

   ! only execute the code if the current field is a list
   if loc:selected_fld{Prop:Type} = CREATE:list
      ! this comes out of the online help, you need to loop through the
array that makes up a row in a list box
      loop x# = 1 to 255
         if loc:selected_fld{PROPLIST:Exists,x#} = 1
            ! set back to the original color as specified in the screen
properties
            loc:selected_fld{PROPLIST:TextSelected,x#} = COLOR:none
            loc:selected_fld{PROPLIST:BackSelected,x#} = COLOR:none
         else
            ! if no more columns then break out of the loop
            break
         end
      end
   end
   ! only do this if the last field was a list
   if loc:last_fld{Prop:Type} = CREATE:list
      loop x# = 1 to 255
         if loc:last_fld{PROPLIST:Exists,x#} = 1
            loc:last_fld{PROPLIST:TextSelected,x#} = COLOR:White
            loc:last_fld{PROPLIST:BackSelected,x#} = COLOR:Gray
         else
            break
         end
      end
   end
   ! save the current field so that we know to reset it on the next list
selected
   loc:last_fld = loc:selected_fld
