**VCR(** [//field//] **)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **VCR** | Places Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) style buttons on a LIST or COMBO control. |
| //field// | A field equate label that specifies the ENTRY control to use as a locator for a LIST or COMBO (PROP:VcrFeq, equivalent to {PROP:VCR,2}). This ENTRY control must appear before the LIST or COMBO control in the WINDOW structure. |

The **VCR** attribute (PROP:VCR) places **V**ideo **C**assette **R**ecorder (VCR) style buttons on a LIST or COMBO control. The VCR style buttons affect the scrolling characteristics of the data displayed in the LIST or COMBO. There are seven buttons displayed as the VCR:

**  |<;   Top of list     (EVENT:ScrollTop)**

**  <;<;   Page Up         (EVENT:PageUp)**

**   <;   Entry Up        (EVENT:ScrollUp)**

**   ?   Locate          (EVENT:Locate)**

**   >   Entry Down      (EVENT:ScrollDown)**

**  >>   Page Down       (EVENT:PageDown)**

**  >|   Bottom of list  (EVENT:ScrollBottom)**

The //field// parameter names the control to get focus when the user presses the ? button. When the user enters data and then presses TAB on the locator //field//, the LIST or COMBO scrolls to its closest matching entry. If no //field// parameter is named, the **?** button still appears but does nothing. To avoid even displaying the **?** button, you may set PROP:VCR to TRUE instead of adding the VCR attribute to the LIST or COMBO control declaration.

**Example:**

**MDIC WINDOW('Child One'),AT(0,0,320,200),MDI,MAX,HVSCROLL**

**      LIST,AT(140,0,20,20),USE(?L1),FROM(Que),HVSCROLL**

**      ENTRY(@S8),AT(100,200,20,20),USE(E2)                        !Locator control for L2**

**      LIST,AT(140,100,20,20),USE(?L2),FROM(Que),HVSCROLL,VCR(?E2) !VCR with Locator active**

**     END**

** CODE**

** OPEN(MDIC)**

** ?L1{PROP:VCR} = TRUE          !VCR buttons without the ? button **

** ACCEPT**

** END**
