ui.Dialog.visualToArrayIndex

Converts the visual index to the program array index for a given screen array.

Syntax

visualToArrayIndex(
   name STRING,
   index INTEGER )
  1. name is the screen array name.
  2. index is the index of the row as seen by the end user.

Usage

When the end user sorts rows in a table, the visual row index may differ from the program array index.

Use this method to convert a row index as seen by the end user, to the program array index. For example, if the application implements a feature that allows the user to enter a row index to jump to that row, it will be entered as a visual row index. You must convert this index to the program array index, for example to make a setCurrentRow().

CALL DIALOG.setCurrentRow("sr", DIALOG.visualToArrayIndex("sr", user_index))
