get active record ?

[Thomas An]

Hi all,

(in FM7) Is it possible for a script to know which record the user is looking at right this minute ?

The script is running on the record you are on right this very minute. If I understand question correctly...the answer is that this is always true.

Thank you for the response !

The thing is, that once we are in list view mode, there is no way for a script to know which record the user is viewing. So, there is no way to highlight the active record only.

(We can highlight rows in portals, but not in ListView mode of the layout)
