Poll: Retain cursor focus when returning to a client list box

Post by Yimmy »

Retain cursor focus when returning to a client list box for retail stores, or a supplier list box for factories or warehouses. When selecting multiple resources from a factory list box or multiple products from a retail list box, the player must select one item, then return to the list box to select another item repeatedly until all items are selected. Each time when returning to the list box, the cursor focus is at the top of the list box unless keyboarding has entered filtering text that refines the options listed in the box.

I suggest that the cursor be positioned at its previous selection point so that the player doesn't have to scroll back down from the beginning to the next choice. This feature already exists for the information center. For example, when viewing your "firms" list in the info center, you can select a firm to review its details; when you return to the firms list, the cursor places you right back where you were before viewing your firm in greater detail. This is an excellent, time-saving feature that would be helpful in other list boxes such as the factory resources and retail products list boxes. It wold also provide value when reviewing your technlogy listing as well as your advertising list
