I created a table with seven cells.
Each cell contains a list.
Each list contains one line with itemname, itemvalue, and a picture of a traffic light indicating whether the item value is good, neutral or bad.
When the list is clicked, a card in a deck has to be selected, showing more information about that item.
Although I made the list clickable, I can't figure out what I have to do, so the right card is selected.
Is it possible what I want, or should I stop dreaming.
I solved this problem myself partly. I changed the properties for clickable regions from "list as a whole" to "parts in a list". Furthermore I added an item to the list containing the label of the card to select.
However, when I click between several lists, a list remains clicked when I click another list. So I can not click a list again. Is there a way to "unclick" an item ?
Hi Curious,
Can you share your report spec? I can't tell what control you have already put in. Is you list controling the deck if so is it data item deck controlled by the data item in the list.
Thanks,
RK
At this moment it is not possible for me to share the report spec.
The situation is this
I have several lists within my active report, for example one showing costs of personel, one showing total sales this month, one showing profit this month ...etc.
When I click somewhere on a the list I want the right list in the deck to show up with more information. So when I click on the list the sales figure of this month I want the deck come up with the list showing more specific information about the sales of this months.
Actually I want the several lists (with one line) act like a radio button group. So far I succeeded with one exception, I cannot deselect a list once it has been selected. When I run the report while developing I can right click on the report and select "reset variables". All previously selected lists will be deselected then.
When I saved the report or send it to an Ipad there is no option to reset variables. Well.... I can't find it.
Hello curious,
mean you this?
Hi Curious,
why not just make an extra list which allows you to reset the active report variable? Something like an empty all values button.

Herewith I attach an example. Every number and traffic list on top of the report is a list. (so there a two lists)
Clicking on a list changes the card underneath.
By the way, I discovered that when I click the first list, and after that the second list, nothing changes. But when I click the last list first then the right card is displayed.
@Random hunter How do I make a list which resets the active report variables :-[
Hi,
you could add a card in the deck which is empty (or contains a text box to tell the user he can change the content by selecting a list from you group of lists), next you make a connection between the list and the deck so when the user selects the reset list, the deck will show the empty card of the deck. Try it, if all fails I have the xml and I can share it.

Hi,
take a look at my report.
Hello guru's
Tequila's example is indeed what I mean. However I still don't know how you did it. In my example the list stays selected, in your's it stays unselected. I will keep searching, but a hint will be appreciated.
Of course the xml of RandomHunter is welcome too.
Thanks for your help.
Hi curious,
try the atttached code, maybe it helps, maybe not.

Hello to you all
Problem solved (so far I think) :)
Today I learned that in cases like this, I have to use the same variable_name for selecting the right card.
For an experienced user problably very dumb that I didn't , but i am still learning.
Thank you very much for your help and tips
