Anything like ListBox of VB in Progress?

[Kenneth Chow]

Dear guys,

I have a program which reads a text file and updates a table. Firstly the records in the source file will be stored to a temp table for verification purpose before actual update to the table.

Now I want to display the records created in the temp table to let the user know what are going to be updated before the actual update occurs.

My idea is to add all the records in a listbox to serve this purpose. At first I think smartbrowser is the appropriate object to use. However, it seems that smartbrowser must be linked with a permanent table instead of a temp one.

So can any advanced progress developer tell what can I do?

Kenneth,

You can use a Freeform browse to display Temp-Table records.

I have try but it says "display fails since no row selected".
Can you quote some codings?

You just have to use freeform query for the browse you'll use.
You have to code the query in the open-query procedure of the browse. Then, you have to write in the display procedure of the browse code the field (with format ....) you want to display

finally I found open query serves the purpose I desire.
