List box with Jump to Page action

[petervb]

Hello,

does anyone else remember seeing a post regarding the way to have a List Box selection trigger a Page Jump action?

Thanks!

Re: List box with Jump to Page action

If anyone might be looking for this solution, other than me, here are actions that work!

%SelectedItem%=ListBoxObject[ListBox1].GetSelected
Page.Jump ("%SelectedItem%")

I found that the List Box would alphabetize the contents when displayed. So, I had to reorder my pages to accomodate the AMS generated index. In this case items # 0 - 3.

Regards,

Peter

Hi.

1. List boxes only *alphebetize* at runtime if you have it set to "sort items at run time" in it's properties dialog.

2. All you need to do is add a Page Jump action (or any action(s)) to the list box's OnDoubleClick event. You can even make that *item specific* if you want to use a few more actions, i.e. LIST BOX OBJECT > GET SELECTED, etc.

Thanks, Corey,

yep, "sort items at run-time" is selected.

I wasn't able to figure out how to add a Page Jump to the list box as it contained multiple items. I did figure out the "item specific" action! Now, what else can i use list boxes for;-)
