Re: Forms 4.5, selectable display_item block

Patrick,

Thanks. I've ended up doing something similar, except I have had to use the mouse-down action as I seem to be missing the mouse-up and mouse-click events. When I loose these event, the focus seems to go slightly adrift...

Have you come across this when using 4.5 in Windows NT4?
