MWAPI - SELECTVAL

Draft MDC Standard

SELECTVAL contains the selected data associated with or represented by the gadget.

If the gadget’s INSELECT elattribute is not defined, its SELECTVAL elattribute is also not defined and is not modifiable. If the gadget’s INSELECT elattribute is defined, its SELECTVAL elattribute is also defined. If the seloff component of the gadget’s INSELECT elattribute is equal to zero, its SELECTVAL elattribute is emptystring.

If an application assigns a value, X, to SELECTVAL, the value of X replaces the selected data, if any, in the gadget’s data value. If an application removes the SELECTVAL with the M[UMPS] KILL command, the selected data, if any, is removed from the gadget’s data value. Any changes made to a gadget’s data value via SELECTVAL are reflected in the gadget’s VALUE elattribute and may also cause modification of the gadget’s INSELECT elattribute.
