Description
The SET LIST ITEM PARAMETER command can be used to modify the selector parameter for the itemRef item of the hierarchical list whose reference or object name is passed in the list parameter.
If you pass the first optional * parameter, you indicate that the list parameter is an object name (string) corresponding to a representation of the list in the form. If you do not pass this parameter, you indicate that the list parameter is a hierarchical list reference (ListRef). If you only use a single representation of the list or work with structural items (the second * is omitted), you can use either syntax. Conversely, if you use several representations of the same list and the second * is passed, the syntax based on the object name is required since each representation can have its own current item.
You can pass a reference number in itemRef. If this number does not correspond to an item in the list, the command does nothing. You can also pass 0 in itemRef to indicate the last item added to the list (using APPEND TO LIST).
Lastly, you can pass * in itemRef: in this case, the command will be applied to the current item of the list. If several items are selected manually, the current item is the last one that was selected. If no item is selected, the command does nothing.
In selector, you can pass the Additional text constant (found in the "Hierarchical Lists" theme) or any custom value:
• Additional Text: This constant is used to add text to the right of the itemRef item. This additional title will always be displayed in the right part of the list, even when the user moves the horizontal scrolling cursor. When you use this constant, pass the text to be displayed in value.
• Custom selector: You can also pass custom text and associate it with a value of the Text, Number or Boolean type in selector. This value will be stored with the list item and may be retrieved using the GET LIST ITEM PARAMETER command. This lets you set up any type of interface associated with hierarchical lists. For example, in a list of customer names, you can store the age of each person and only display it when the corresponding item is selected.
