How to specify a DefaultExpression for a TField object
This article has not been rated yet. After reading, feel free to leave comments and rate it.
If you set up a field attribute set and associate that set with a field in your table that will
work. If you set the value in the object inspector it will let you enter in a string but it will not
reflect the value at runtime. If you try to set the TField.DefaultExpression property at
runtime like this:
MyField.DefaultExpression := 'MyValue'; // (Wrong)
It will compile but you will not get a default value at runtime when you create a new recordin the table by, say, clicking on the + on the DBNavigator. To get the default value to take
at runtime the code assignment needs to be:
MyField.DefaultExpression := '''MyValue'''; // (Correct)
In the Object Inspector you just need to put 'MyValue'. Use single quotes in the ObjectInspector.
