|
dwcontrol |
A reference to a DataWindow control. It reports the line number in the edit control over the current row and column. |
Return value
Returns the number of the line containing the insertion point in dwcontrol. If an error occurs, SelectedLine returns -1. If dwcontrol is null, SelectedLine returns null.
Usage
The insertion point can be at the beginning or end of the selection. Therefore, SelectedLine can return the first or last selected line, depending on the position of the insertion point.
PowerBuilder environment
For use with other PowerBuilder controls, see the section called “SelectedLine” in PowerScript Reference.
Examples
If the insertion point is positioned anywhere in line 5 of the MultiLineEdit mle_Contact, the following example sets li_SL to 5:
integer li_SL li_SL = mle_Contact.SelectedLine()
In this example, the line the user selects in the MultiLineEdit mle_winselect determines which window to open:
integer li_SL li_SL = mle_winselect.SelectedLine() IF li_SL = 1 THEN Open(w_emp_data) ELSEIF li_SL = 2 THEN Open(w_dept_data) END IF
