**SetAlerts, VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **SetAlerts **method alerts standard keystrokes for the browse's list control and for any associated locator controls.

The BrowseClass.TakeKey method processes the alerted keystrokes.

**Implementation:**

The BrowseClass.SetAlerts method alerts the mouse DOUBLE-CLICK, the INSERT, DELETE and CTRL+ENTER keys for the browse's list control and calls the LocaorClass.SetAlerts method for each associated locator control. Corresponding keycode EQUATEs are declared in KEYCODES.CLW.

The BrowseClass.SetAlerts method also sets up a popup menu for the browse list that mimics the behavior of any control buttons (insert, change, delete, select).

**Example:**

**PrepareStateBrowse ROUTINE                 !Setup the BrowseClass object:**

** BrowseState.Init(?StateList,      |       ! identify its LIST control,**

**                  StateQ.Position, |       ! its VIEW position string,**

**                  StateView,       |       ! its source/target VIEW,**

**                  StateQ,          |       ! the LIST's source QUEUE,**

**                  Relate:State)            ! and primary file RelationManager**

** BrowseState.SetAlerts                     !alert LIST and locator keystrokes**
