listbox initial_focus question

[lorier]

hello, how do i modify the dcl below so that the first list member is selected? or is that possible? the list is filled in later.
thanks in advance.

select_sites : dialog {
label = "Site Volume Librarian";
:row {
:column {
:list_box { width = 20; height = 15; fixed_width = true; key = "1"; label = "Select site: "; value = " "; allow_accept = false; list = ""; multiple_select = false; }
}
:column {
fixed_width=true;
width=20;
:column {
fixed_height=true;
spacer;
spacer;
: button { label = "Select All"; key = "2"; }
: button { label = "Clear All"; key = "3"; }
}
spacer;
}
}
ok_cancel_help;
errtile;
}

I think you can add:
value = "0";
to the tile definition.

please excuse my dcl ignorance, but i don't have access to the application that loads the dcl, Is that where the tile definition would go?

You don't necessarily need access to the application.
Make a backup of the current DCL file, and replace its contents with the
following that I cleaned up a little because of word-wrap. Unless the
application's dialog is defined internally, this should work.

select_sites : dialog {
label = "Site Volume Librarian";
: row {
: column {
: list_box {
width = 20;
height = 15;
fixed_width = true;
key = "1";
label = "Select site: ";
//=====================
// Set the value to "0"
// to focus on the first item...
//=====================
value = "0";
allow_accept = false;
list = "";
multiple_select = false;
}
}
: column {
fixed_width=true;
width=20;
: column {
fixed_height=true;
spacer;
spacer;
: button {
label = "Select All";
key = "2";
}
: button {
label = "Clear All";
key = "3";
}
}
spacer;
}
}
ok_cancel_help;
errtile;
}
