Tried that... I have in my INIT:

thisform.lstMake.listitemid=1
thisform.lstMake.setfocus()

Still only outlined. Can move the outline with the arrows and all but won't turn BLUE until I click on it or hit SPACE.



>>This is probably something super simple and I am overlooking it...
>>I have a form with a listbox. The listbox has 3 rows. When the form opens, I want the first row selected AND hilighted.

>>I thought I had it with a line in the INIT:
>>

>>thisform.lstMake.listitemid=1

>>The row is selected via a dotted line but it isn't hilighted other than the dotted line. I want the entire row to be hilighted with the BLUE background. This only happens if I hit the SPACE or click once on the row.

>>What am I doing wrong?
