Default View - List Box

[#1]

I would like to know how to set default selection in a list box whenever a sheet is opened.

for e.g., my list box has following values - Alpha, Beta, Gamma. Whenever I open my sheet with this list box I want , 'Alpha' to be selected by default.

Is this possible ?

Hi

Yes, it is possible.

On List box select " Alpha " ---> Right Click ----> Properties--->General Tab--->Enable " Always One Selected Value " ---> Ok

Whenever you open qv application by default it will make selection on " Alpha "

Hope it helps!!

Or else

If you want for particular sheet then follow like this

Right Click on Sheet--->Sheet Properties---->OnActivate Sheet--->Click on Add Action--->Add--->Action Type-

" Selection "--->Action- "Select in Field"--->Click Ok--->Field - Enter " Field Name " ---> Search String - Enter " Alpha "---> Ok--->Ok

Now whenever you open or move to this sheet by default, list box value " Alpha " will be selected.

Hope it helps!!
