Guys,

I have a BO that has an AfterAddNew event, in this event I set some defaults but I am finding that this is failing because the currentrowindex of the BO is -1. Is this correct?

I am running the 1.6.6. beta from 27th August 2008.

Geoff,



Try handling the SetDefaultValues event on the BO. Works much better, more reliably than AfterAddNew.

Greg,

That is a real Doh! moment. Can't say why I never saw that event before. Interesting thing was that initially, it didn't solve the problem. When I did some digging I found that a childformdialog still had a legacy BOTranslation that wasn't in use but this was obviously corrupting the object creation.

At then end of it, issue now seems solved and many thanks for the input.

Geoff.

Glad you got it going Geoff. And not to long ago I was using AfterAddNew to set some default values and it wouldn't work....DOH! Glad to share the lesson!

I can certainly see how that one would be confusing   That's why we made a conscious decision to put the stub for the SetDefaultValues event handler within the template of a new business object (and the CheckRulesOnCurrentRow event, too).

Yeah, I remember to use that one when I'm setting up defaults at the BO level. Were I used to have a brain fart was when then doing some additional setting at the form level or beyond...The last time was finally enough pain and I remember it now!
