Description

Normally, the prompt list starts in the column specified in piUpdateColumn.

The default value for piInitialColumn is -1, which means that it should use the above strategy. If you wish to specify a different initial column, you may do so by setting piInitialColumn.

Often this property will be set inside of the invoking object's Prompt_Callback event.

// this forces a simple value update for column 0 (id)
// with the initial column being column 1 (name)
Procedure Prompt_Callback Integer hPrompt
      Set peUpdateMode of hPrompt to umPromptValue
      Set piUpdateColumn of hPrompt to 0
      Set piInitialColumn of hPrompt to 1
End_Procedure
