In the sample code, budgets can be added for each account. The accounts are selected from an accounts list. This logic finds the account that was double-clicked and then checks for a duplicate budget. If no duplicate is found, the account is added to the budget list.

The selection indicator for the repeating group view that indicates what row is selected changes when associated with the clicked event handler:

Note: The selection indicator remains an asterisk symbol (*) for non-event handler procedure logic.

GET ROW HIGHLIGHTED is preferred to GET ROW CLICKED because with the latter, the event handler logic must check the indicator to see if the row has been deselected and should not be processed. With GET ROW HIGHLIGHTED, the mouse controls the highlighting, and no checks are necessary to see if a row has been unhighlighted.
