UR request is totaly ambuguous. How can you select all records in a browse???? You can only have a single record in the current record buffer, only 1 record can be current.
Do you mean that you wish to HIGHLIGHT the records in the browse, this would give the impression that the user has selected the records, which is something different than you asked advice for. Also you failed to identify the environment, eg GUI / CHAR

Something like...

[on choose of button...]

DEF VAR i AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.

DO i = 1 TO 10:

brMyBrowse:SELECT-ROW(i).

END.

In your case i would be all the rows in the browse.

Here's a knowledgebase entry which shows you how to do it properly (?). It looks over-complicated to me, but I haven't done it before, so I won't argue.

Sry.
I work with GUI.
I don`t want to select more than one row to the record buffer.
As you say I want to highlight them all.
But when you say, that this means "highlight", I ask myself why there is the Browse-attribute "Multiple-Selection"!!!???

In your opinion this attribute have to label with "Multiple-Highlight"!


BTW:
The Browse-Method Select-All() is what I am looking for.

And excuse my bad english.

And excuse my bad english.

Sounds ok to me.

I mean, what the hell does 'ambuguous' mean? It definitely sounds rude.

But

Browse-Name:Select-All().

seems to work.

Typo NOT ambuguous, I meant ambiguous

 

[Lee Curzon]

But

Browse-Name:Select-All().

seems to work.

Use that then.

Also note it can take parameters (according to Help).

It's a V9 method, so I guess the KB entry I pointed you to is a bit out of date.

Thanks a lot.
