SETSELECTIONFILTER + Ctrl-A

rikus12

I have a problem using the CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER -functionality.
I open a form for example the Customer List, and when a press Ctrl-A (default windows-functionality to select all) and I then perform an action using de CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER, no records are marked.
When I select the records by clicking the mouse in the first record and scrolling down to the last, it works fine.
Is there a solution how I can make Ctrl+A work too?

Hello
Add a menu Item in a menu button and set the shortcut to Ctrl+a. Then on push add your code to mark the current records. This is the only way I see you could do it.

From the CSide Help
SETSELECTIONFILTER (Form)
Use this function to have the system note the records the user has selected on the form, mark those records in the table specified, and set the filter to "marked only".

CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(Record)
Record

Data type: record

A specific record or records.

Comments
If either all or no records are selected, marks will not be used.

Just to clarify. Ctrl-A and SETSELECTIONFILTER works fine - it is your code that incorrectly assumes that something is marked.
The proper way to use SETSELECTIONFILTER is almost always like this:

...OnPush()
CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(LocalRec); // Never never use Rec !!!
IF LocalRec.FIND('-) THEN // Or FINDSET if available
  REPEAT
    DoWhatEver(LocalRec);
  UNTIL LocalRec.NEXT = 0;

Could it be any easier? 8)
