Multicolumn list box, "operate value tool" and "active cell"

[MrNatural]

If I use the "operate value tool" to select a row of the multicolumn list box, that row gets a dark blue background.  However, I cannot determine which property will tell me what is that row or let me change that row number.  It is not the active cel or "edit position".  

I want to programatically change the selection just as the "operate value tool" does.  I can change the background color of the cell but the dark blue of the cells selected by the "operate value tool" take precedence and hide my colors.  

Extremely frustrated and wishing for Java or C++...

It's just the Value Property.  Also, the control/indicator itself.

Hi Alan,

Have a look at event structures and invoke nodes (Point to Row Column) and use property nodes. Here is an attachment.
