Here's how ... Use the TOPITEM ((Last Selected Item)) property of the GETPROPERTY/PROPERTY commands to always retain the selected row within the Variable Lookup ListView windows. TOPITEM captures the TOPITEM value for the last selected row (item) in the list. TOPITEM is used to determine the first item in the list view that the user can see. TOPITEM reflects how far the list view has been scrolled. A very simple and basic example to understand the use of TOPITEM in Variable Lookup List View control: -- Refresh list and retain position using PROPERTY TOPITEM (Last Selected Item) -- Custom EEP to refresh list as well as to remember the Top Item CLEAR VARIABLE vTopItem SET VAR vTopItem TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY ListView TOPITEM vTopItem PROPERTY ListView REFRESHLIST 'TRUE' PROPERTY ListView TOPITEM .vTopItem CLEAR VARIABLE vTopItem RETURN Both 2014 and 2015 R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 Super Advanced Training Sample Applications include a sample form to illustrate the use of such feature in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5.
