[1] Click TOOLS | SCRIPT EDITOR to show the Script Editor screen
[2] Locate “frmEditorPatient” and the “OnAfterNewRecord” event
[3] Copy & Paste the following script into the Script Editor :-
frmEditorBaseRec Editor = (Params[0] as frmEditorBaseRec);
// set the database value...
cPer per = (Editor.Record as cPer);
per.towncity = "London";
// update the corresponding visual control...
DevExpress.XtraEditors.BaseEdit ed = Editor.FindControl("edTownCity") as DevExpress.XtraEditors.BaseEdit;
if (ed != null) { ed.EditValue = "London"; }
[4] Click OK
In the example above, we are setting the Town/City field to default to “London”, but you can change the text between the ” ” to whatever you wish. To test this out, try creating a new patient record and notice that the “Town/City” field will be populated with your default value.
