Setting cursor on a dropdown datawindow to point to latest entry

Asked by badtz7229 in PowerBuilder Programming Language

Tags: Powerbuilder

I created a datawindow with 2 child datawindow (drop down datawindows).
The child datawindows are drop downs which a user can select from a list.
One of the options on the list of both drop down dw are <Add New>.
In my itemchanged() i have the following :
However when user selects <add new> and enters/saves the new entry from w_div_detail then goes back to main dw -
that drop down datawindow gets reset & does not scroll/setfocus to the newly created item on the list for display.
Even when i click another button it resets to <add new> which is at position 0 and doesn't scroll to latest addition.
i tried setfocus, find, scrolltorow. etc. nothing works.
Please help me move the position on the drop down datawindow to point to new entry the user just created. Start Free Trial
