What is the correct way to set selected record in a browse immediately after the browse window is opened?

The Id (Primary key) of the record that should initially be selected is passet to the Browseprocedure as a parameter…

I struggling a bit to get this to work properly so I hope someone can help :slight_smile:

Thanks :slight_smile:

Are you using ABC or Legacy templates?

We are using ABC.

You should be able to use BRW1.StartAtCurrent = YourParameter >

(You might have to pass YourParameter to a local variable in a routine before you do this???)

EDIT: What Rick says in the next post is the correct way of using StartAtCurrent. Sorry for the misinformation.

Use the passed ID to Fetch the record in the window manager Init method after the tables are open.
The set the browse StartAtCurrent = true after the browse INIT call, also in the window manager Init method.

Depending on your requirements: If you already have the record fetched, and you’re looking to use the browse as a selector, you don’t have to do anything in the browse procedure itself.

Just set GlobalRequest.

GlobalRequest = SelectRecord
MyBrowseProc() ! Should automatically select the record
IF GlobalResponse = RequestCompleted
  RespondToNewSelection()
END
