Making a checkbox default true

system · February 18, 2010, 9:02am

What is the check box you are looking to set a default value for, a native or user defined? I assume you want to have the True value set when a new job is created? Let me know and I can set it up for you.

I have been asked to make a checkbox on an entry screen to automatically default to true. Is this possible? We are running Vantage 8.0

Thanks

Sounds like a good application for a BPM...which form is this for?

I have been asked to make a checkbox on an entry screen to automatically
default to true. Is this possible? We are running Vantage 8.0

I don't have all the answers on this one, but I have had success using VB code in a customization as an alternative to a BPM. In fact, I don't think it's even possible to use a BPM to default a checkbox to checked when the entry form first loads for a new record. The BPM won't fire until you try to save the record, and could either force a value or throw an exception message. I could be wrong here.

The catch is I haven't gotten it to work on pre-made Epicor controls, but I can make it work with checkboxes I have added. Add this VB code to your customization.

Sub InitializeCustomCode()
Dim ctrl as EpiCheckbox = CType(csm.GetNativeControlReference("EpiGUID GOES HERE"), EpiCheckbox)
ctrl.Checked = True
End Sub

Copy the EpiGUID from the property tab for your desired checkbox, and replace where I put EpiGUID GOES HERE. This method needs a string as a parameter so be sure and include the double quotes or use a string variable.

I have my own post out there on a similar topic, but I'm thinking you made need the Epicor Vantage SDK to touch the premade controls. Again, could be wrong on that one. Hopefully brighter minds will chime in.
