Accessing the Choice List Pointer for a Field

You can access the choice list pointer for a field with fld_clistp():

CLISTPTR fld_clistp(fldp)

FIELDPTR fldp;        /* Field to get choice list for        */

The choice list pointer can be used to modify the appearance and the behavior of the choice list.

Designer: You can call fld_clistp() at any point after reading the form from the Designer library. Do not attempt to reference the memory file for the choice list until the memory file pointer has been resolved. See Chapter 5, "Using Designer Data Forms," for more information on resolving the memory file pointer.

Code: Do not call fld_clistp() before you call sf_clist() to install the choice list in the field.
