To set default values for new rows, set the column's Value property in the OnAddNew event. This is useful if adding multiple rows with similar information.

Complete the following steps:

1. Set the AllowAddNew property to True.

   In the Designer

   Locate the AllowAddNew property in the Properties window and set it to True.

   In Code

   Add the following code to the Form_Load event:

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.AllowAddNew = True

   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   this.c1TrueDBGrid1.AllowAddNew = true;

2. Add the following OnAddNew event to the form:

   To write code in Visual Basic

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Private Sub C1TrueDBGrid1_OnAddNew(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles C1TrueDBGrid1.OnAddNew Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.Columns("Country").Value = "United States" End Sub

   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   private void c1TrueDBGrid1_OnAddNew(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns["Country"].Value = "United States"; }

What You've Accomplished

The value in the Country column automatically adds "United States" when a new row is added:
