To the person who posted the 'how to select between two check/tick boxes' my apologies for deleting your thread.

If you have two list of checkboxes then find the checkbox from each list, apply the value to a new select clause for your main query block, use the set_block_property('blk',default_where,'your select statement'). Have look at the example in the Pre-Query trigger documentation. Then perform your Execute_Query command.

How do I make a check box programmatic in that when two values are selected the values between them will also be specified. I would like to eliminate the manual process of having to tick each box concern

For example if I have a form that looks like this

Check box column	Item column	Another item column
	Dbr300	                         Item description 
	Dbr301	                         Item description 
	Dbr302	                         Item description 
	Dbr303	                         Item description 
	Dbr304	                         Item description 
	Dbr305	                         Item description 
	Dbr306	                         Item description 
	Dbr307	                         Item description 
	Dbr309	                         Item description 
	Dbr310	                         Item description 
	Dbr311	                         Item description 
	Dbr312	                         Item description 
	Dbr313	                         Item description 
	Dbr314	                         Item description 
	Dbr315	                         Item description 
	Dbr316	                         Item description 
	Dbr317	                         Item description 
	Dbr319	                         Item description

I would like to create a form that when the users ticks dbr300, then user ticks on dbr319 all the values between this two item automatically is selected. I would like to eliminate the process of ticking all the values one by one……………..please can someone help

Sorry to be so long in getting back to your question. I will be brief.

Use the :system.mouse_button_shift_state and :system.mouse_button_modifiers settings to determine whether the 'shift' or 'control' keys have been held down when the mouse is 'clicked'.

Behaviour: When user 'clicks' a box and neither 'control' or 'shift' is held down then all 'checked' boxes are 'unchecked' and this box is 'checked'. If the 'mouse_button_shift_state' (read the doco) is 'Shift+' then check this box then find the previous 'checked' box and 'check' all the boxes in between them. If the 'mouse_button_shift_state' is 'Ctrl+' then just 'check' this box (without 'unchecking' any other box).

Just to add , Once after you define whether the user Checked using "Shift" (or) "Ctrl" , Then by using "WHEN_CHECKBOX_CHECKED" Trigger , and CHECKBOX_CHECKED built-in functions you can check the checkboxes.

Actually, you do ALL the checking inside the When-Checkbox-Changed.

And I should have said that when 'Control' is held down you 'toggle' the checkbox not just set it 'checked'.
