Getting a newRecord to display at the top of the list.

Classic Servoy
1

Everytime I create a new record it appears at the bottom of the list, which often means that I need to scroll down to populate it. This even seems to be the case when I have asked the list to sort using a unique ID or if I create a method that sorts the list after creating the new record.

Is there an easy way I can get the newRecord to display at the top?

Many thanks

Hi MerMer,

The following code will add it to the top.

controller.newRecord(true);

To know what parameters certain functions have you can hover over the node in the Servoy Editor or you can right click on it and move sample.

Hope this helps.

Many thks indeed. Feeling rather foolish not to have looked at the parameters first!
