Record Selector Funtion

[MilaK]

Hello,

I’m looking for a function that will return true or false if a record is selected with a record selector on a continues form. My intention is to select multiple records and use the output of this function to apply conditional formatting to the form.
Any input on this method would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

correct me if im wrong but I don't think there is such a function.
why not add a Yes/No field to the table and then you can tick it.

The record selector will fire the click event of the form but I have no idea what you'd do with that when picking multiple selectors.

Hi. As Micron said, you could try using the Form's Click event and check the value in the SelTop and SelHeight properties. Hope it helps...

Please explain how I would "tick it".

Thanks

here is what I got so far.
inspired by mr. cj_london's work.
Click on the Record selector to highlight.
there is no additional textbox on the background.
