Multiple Choice List Gadgets

You can read the current selections in a multiple-choice list using the selection() methods. This will return the replacement-texts:

!Xarray = !This.List.selection() ‑ returns selected replacement texts by default

!Xarray = !This.List.selection(‘Dtext’) ‑ returns selected display texts

To read the index numbers of the currently selected fields of a multi-choice list gadget:

!ChosenNumbersArray = !!Form.List.Val

You can read back the current Dtexts or Rtexts as an array or simply as strings:

!array = !This.List.Dtext ‑ get all the Dtexts

!string = !This.List.Rtext[3] ‑ get Rtext of the third list field

You can select fields of this list either singly (additive) or by array of Dtext or Rtext, using its select() methods:

!This.List.select(‘Rtext’, ‘Tea’)

!This.List.select(‘Dtext’, !array)
