selected record to show global container

[defasum]

It looks like I have found a great resource here!

I am fairly new to building FMP databases (although I have been a user for years). I have a basic issue I could use help on.

I am trying to show that a record is selected in a list view layout with more that just the black line on the left side edge. I would like a graphic that I have in a global container to show in the selected record.

I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

Thanks

Here's a demo. Key things to look for:

1. a global container with your hilite color

2. a calc field in your table that resolves to the container if its id is in the global selected field. This field is set to the back layer in the row in the list view. I've left a field border on it, but typically it doesn't have one.

3. a script attached to the calc field on the list view that sets the record's id into the global.
