How to Update a Number Field and Refresh The Screen To Display the Value

[slh]

Hi

I’m updating a custom field after a calculation that happens frmEditorPatient.OnAfterLoadRecord()

The database is updated but the field does not display the new value until the screen is closed and re-opened.

Is there a way to either set the value in the number field or force a screen refresh?

thanks

Sean

Hi Sean,

Please see the example in this post:-

To access a “custom” control, you need to prefix the field name with “customEditor_”

For example, for a custom field called “my_custom_field” it would be :-
DevExpress.XtraEditors.BaseEdit ed = Editor.FindControl("customEditor_my_custom_field") as DevExpress.XtraEditors.BaseEdit;

thank you. That works brilliantly.
