**TakeAccepted, DERIVED**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **TakeAccepted **method processes the accepted locator value and returns a value indicating whether the browse list display should change.

A locator value is accepted when the end user changes the locator value, then TABS off the locator control or otherwise switches focus to another control on the same window.

**Implementation:**

The TakeAccepted method primes the FreeElement property with the entered search value, then returns one (1 or True) if a new search is required or returns zero (0 or False) if no new search is required.

**Return Data Type:     **BYTE

**Example:**

**MyBrowseClass.TakeAcceptedLocator PROCEDURE**

** CODE**

** IF ~SELF.Sort.Locator &= NULL          !if locator is present**

**  IF SELF.Sort.Locator.TakeAccepted()      !if locator value requires a search**

**   SELF.Reset(1)                !reposition the view**

**   SELECT(SELF.ListControl)          !focus on the list control**

**   SELF.ResetQueue( Reset:Done )        !reset the browse queue**

**   SELF.Sort.Locator.Reset           !reset the locator USE variable**

**  END**

** END**
