If your View As List form has, for example, a Header tile and a Data
tile, and you have the old Data Cells on the Data tile, the current
record will automatically highlight.
If you have used either the original Text Display objects or Text
Display SuperObjects on your Data tile, no current record will be
indicated.
If you have used Text Editor SuperObjects (TESO ) to view your
information on the Data tile, only an individual TESO being edited will
indicate the current record.
A simple solution is to add a Data Cell for one of your information
items. You can even cover that Data Cell with a Button Object set to
"transparent" so it will not be editable, depending upon your needs. I
create a blank field named "Blank" for this purpose and then a
".CurrentRecord" procedure with the following:
Field "Blank"
Yet another solution is to create a Flash Art object with an
appropriate formula to turn on the Flash Art for the current record.
