Set lowest value as default for list box

I have an alpha numeric field as a Listbox and I would like the lowest value to be selected as the default. The values change every time the QVW is reloaded so I can't hard code a static value.

Hi,

store the value you want to select into a variable.

Edit the Document Object (Ctrl-Alt-D), goto Tab Triggers, select "OnOpen" in the "Document Event Triggers" box, Click on "Edit Actions"

There you could click "Add"

1. Select Action Type = Selection and Action=Clear All, click on OK

2. Select Action Type = Selection and Action=Select in Field, click on OK
now enter in the fields on the right in the Box "Field" the Name of the Field a value should be selected
in tne box "Seatch String" enter "=VariableName" (where "VariableName" is the Name of the Variable you have stored the value within the script

Thats results that when the Document is opend, all values deselected and the field is preselected with the value of the variable.

Good Luck

Michael
