Parameters

Item
Type: int
An Integer data type that specifies the item to copy.

InsertAt
Type: int
An Integer data type that specifies the position in the list that the item is copied to.

Return Value

Type: int
An Integer data type that specifies the position in the list that the item is copied to.

Remarks

To display columns in a form list control, call the FormListControl.viewType method, and then pass the FormListViewType::Report enumeration value.

Examples

The following example shows a call to the copyItem method to copy an item to the tenth position in the form list control. The FormListControl.getCount method returns the number of items in the control.

The while select statement retrieves account numbers from the CustTable table and then stores the data in a container. The items in the variable are added to the form list control by calling the FormListControl.addItem method.
