Re: List loading issue

[Veronica Loell]

Probably not very effective and I havn't really worked with lists, but I 
create an array of the databaserecord-index-numbers that should be 
displayed in a table, and then simply pick that record when 
drawing/populating the table. One might be able to use the same method 
with a list. It might not be the most efficent way but it works well 
enough for me. It does the task of separates choosing what will be 
displayed, which is what I will want to work on, from actually 
displaying it which then is "automatic". I just have to populate the 
array, and then call "draw it/fill it".

 Actually, this doesn't work. The itemNumber variable refers to the 
place in the list that the record is to be displayed and it seems to be 
generated and incremented by the OS as evidenced by the fact that 
stepping through debugging mode winds up in assembler code between 
iterations of the draw function. The process of selecting which records 
to display is external to the itemNumber. That will generate and 
increment whether the list is drwn with a visible record or not.
