Overview

The latest version of the TIER executable, 8.3.5, has a new feature that allows the TIER designer to display the first entry from a list of items in a TTierComboBox.

A TTierComboBox is the control where the items are hardcoded into the object inspector on the control of the form. The entry will then be the default entry for the ComboBox and is saved at the time the document is saved if FieldName is entered.

The setting can be found on the Object Inspector of the TTierComboBox.  Put a check in the DisplayFirstItem.

For example, in our workflow database, the Utility Inspection form, there are 2 TTierComboBoxes. The first box allows the user to select the Findings or the status of the utility and the other to enter the Follow Up Action or the action to be taken.  By setting the DisplayFirstItem property, the first item listed in each list is set as the default.  If the first item listed under Items is not to be the default value, simply re-enter the default item to be the first item in the Items property.
