My form is displaying say some 50 records.user needs to select any 1 record amongst all available values.The selected record should get highlighted.I tried to use go_record(record_no),but its not working.Even i tried to use :system.cursor_record to obtain the record number and then called go_record.But still its not working.

If you need to highlight a row, use visual attribute.
1. create a visual attribute
2. Set_Block_Property(<block_name>, Current_Record_Attribute,<visual attribute name>);

user needs to select any 1 record amongst all available values (...) I tried to use go_record(record_no) ...
How does user do that? Does he/she types record number, presses <Enter> (or some button) and expects Forms to navigate to that particular record? Or is it something different?
As of record highlighting, you might also check use of SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY (which is then to be used for every item in a record).
the user will press a 'select' button in order to select the record.the selected record should get highlighted and the selected record will be passed to some other form.
thank u.
hi everyone,
i m done with it.i used two visual attributes and used pre and post text item triggers.Finally i used set_item_instance_property in those triggers.
