- value argument:
- The value argument may be specified by either of two means: the displayed text of the item, or its numerical index. (Indexes are one-based. That is numbering begins at 1)
- In the case of a list box control, more than one item may be selected. Do this by providing additional value arguments in the cells to the right of the first value argument, along with arbitrary argument header names of your own choosing. (See example above). Note: However, that it is not possible to mix data types (index and text) of multiple value arguments in a single action line.
- Enclose a numerical text string in quotation marks to differentiate it from a numerical index value. For example, if a text value of an item in a control has a value of 12, you should reference that item by passing 12 surrounded by quotation marks (that is, “12”) instead of the numerical 12. Passing the numerical 12 is treated as a reference to an item with an index of 12, rather than an item holding a text string value of 12.
- This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string
<ignore>is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to<ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
