This is just a proof of concept. I have not tested what happens when a list needs to scroll up or down.
If it's a single column list you want, you could adopt what I do in SuQcess with Viewing a record with subfields.
The list can be scrolled (set the main window to a minimum) and each line is a field or a subfield and can be clicked on.
In a separate array I keep track of which field that line belongs to so the correct field is taken to act upon.

this is intetrsting... But how can i creste a subfield in suqcess in order to vuew this effect?

In a DBAS database a string field can be divided into subfields by the LF/CHR$(10) character.
While the normal text edit window in SuQcess does not directly support that, you can create this by inserting a CHR$(13) into the text.
Hit Shift+ENTER and the CR character will be visible as a stippled block that will be replaced by a LF in the database.
When you next edit this field it will probably be presented as a list in the edit window, hit space to select the subfield for editing.
In the F3-Command menu you can switch between String and Array editing. Check the Edit chapter from F1-Help.
