Handlers for Scrolling List Field

I am looking for the handler that tells a scrolling list field that the selected line has changed (using arrow keys of mouse).

First of all let me say that I don't know what you mean by "arrow keys of mouse".

I am so sorry. I meant "arrow keys OR mouse" :-( Sorry for the inadvertent time wasting!!

So if I click on a line, I can use a mouseup handler to get the line clicked and act accordingly.

But what if a line is selected already and I use the up or down arrow keys to move to another line? What is the handler to detect the new line selected?

You should find that selectionChanged will do what you need.

e.g. Field Script:

Code: Select all

on selectionChanged
   put the selectedLine into fld "myChoiceField"
end selectionChanged
