Default Row Index (DriveWorks Documentation)

Default Row Index

This property will select a row in the Data Table by default. The row is referenced by index number where 1 is the first row (Field headings are ignored).

The Default Row Index controls the default index of the control.

If the default index is based on a rule, and the value of the rule changes, then the selected index of the control will be changed to be the default index.

Property Type: Static

Default Value: No default value is applied to this property

The default value of the static property can be changed by typing the required value directly into the property field
