I have two datawindows in my window, and I want to highlight the row that
was selected last in the leaving datawindow when the user switches focus to
the other window and vise versa. Which event and functions of the
datawindow should I use for this purpose?
Thanks in advance

I am not sure I understand the question.

Selectrow() will highlight the row.

Getrow() will get the last selected row

in the getfocus event of the datawindow use getrow to get the rownumber in
the last datawindow
and use selectrow to highlight that row in the new datawindow.

I usually put code in the rowfocuschanged event. when the row changes, then
row gets highlighted and the row in the other datawindow will be highlighted
also.

1) If you use SetRowFocusIndicator, it stays on when the focus changes
2) If you use SelectRow, you can have only one row selected for your purpose
3) I use a rectangle to show the currentrow, you can adapt it to your need
Change the color in the losefocus event and getfocus event:
dw.modify("rf_rect.brush.color=" + ls_bg_colour )

string controlName = "rf_rect"
if dw.describe(controlName + ".name") <> "!" then return true
string ls_bg_colour ,ls_mod
long ll_width file://width of band
string bg = string(COLOR_FOCUS)

ls_bg_colour = "'" + bg + "~t if(isselected(), " + string(COLOR_SELECTED) +
"," +bg + ")'"

ll_width = getTotalWidth(dw)

ls_mod = "Create Rectangle(band=detail" + &
" x='0'" +&
" y='0'" +&
" height='80~t if(1=1, RowHeight(), 80)'" +&
" width='" + string(ll_width) + "'" +&
" name=" + controlName +&
" visible='1~t if(currentrow() = getrow(), 1, 0)'" +&
" brush.hatch='6'" + &
" brush.color=" + ls_bg_colour +&
" pen.style='0'" +&
" pen.width='5'" +&
" pen.color='" + string(rgb(255,255,255)) + "'" +&
" background.mode='2'" +&
" background.color='0'" +&
")"

string rc
rc = dw.Modify(ls_mod)
dw.SetPosition(controlName, "detail", FALSE)

I am sorry? You can select multiple rows with SelectRow() function.

I think it's a distinction between 'you can have only one' (ie if you want
to), and 'you can only have one' (whether you like it or not).

I know.

If I understand well, Ravipal wants to show differently the last line
selected.
SelectRow only offers a blue background for all selected lines.
