I have two UD fields that define temperature limits in deg F, and are entered in Part Entry in deg F. I also want the values to show in degC. I had created a TextChanged event that puts the calculated value in the appropriate text field, but since the degC field isn’t actually saved in the database it displays as zero the next time the form is loaded in part entry or in part tracker. I tried other form events to do the same, but none seemed to do anything. Can anyone point me to the correct even to use for something like this? It doesn’t seem like it should be necessary to store the converted value in another field in the database.
try an EpiViewNotification instead of text change. use initialize to get when it loads. I think you might have to do another command to catch the change. but try it and see, it may work for a change too.
I must be doing something wrong here. I added an EpiViewNotification through the form event wizard to a PartTracker customization, but it doesn’t appear to be firing. I added Message Boxes to test but nothing happens after loading a part or multiple parts into the form.
public void InitializeCustomCode()
{
// ** Wizard Insert Location - Do not delete 'Begin/End Wizard Added Variable Initialization' lines **
// Begin Wizard Added Variable Initialization
this.edvPart = ((EpiDataView)(this.oTrans.EpiDataViews["Part"]));
this.edvPart.EpiViewNotification += new EpiViewNotification(this.edvPart_EpiViewNotification);
// End Wizard Added Variable Initialization
// Begin Wizard Added Custom Method Calls
// End Wizard Added Custom Method Calls
}
private void edvPart_EpiViewNotification(EpiDataView view, EpiNotifyArgs args)
{
// ** Argument Properties and Uses **
// view.dataView[args.Row]["FieldName"]
// args.Row, args.Column, args.Sender, args.NotifyType
// NotifyType.Initialize, NotifyType.AddRow, NotifyType.DeleteRow, NotifyType.InitLastView, NotifyType.InitAndResetTreeNodes
if ((args.NotifyType == EpiTransaction.NotifyType.AddRow))
{ MessageBox.Show("View addrow");
if ((args.Row > -1))
{ MessageBox.Show("View args > -1");
}
}
}
That worked to get it firing. Now it shows both Message Boxes and then throws an error. This is without any custom code inside of the if ((args.Row > -1)){} statement
Message: Specified cast is not valid.

I take that back. I had used a block comment inside the if ((args.Row > -1)){} to comment out the code, but the block comment was ignored. The EpiDataViewNotification is working without error, just have to adjust a data type somewhere in the custom code. Thanks.
Almost there. The conversion fires and fills the new fields, but the fields to be converted are always treated as zero (see below, -20F should convert to -29C, 0F is -18C). Is there a way to have the EpiViewNotification fire later after the data is read?
Calvin is correct. When I open part tracker I expect the fields to have zero value, but when I search for and select a part all of the data loads which populates those fields. My code is still treating the fields as though they have zero value, however. Below is the full code:

}
}
All of the message boxes are firing, it just isn’t pulling the correct value from the MAWPp, MinTf, and MaxTf fields.
The test for null was for when I was evaluating at a text changed event, deleting the value would throw an error before the box reset itself to the default zero. You’re probably right that I don’t need those checks with this method.
Correct, the message boxes also just showed 0 (or values converted from 0). I replaced my field.value statements with epiDataView statements and everything started working. Not sure why exactly, but referencing the current value of a form field doesn’t work as I think it should. I suppose calling the epiDataView is likely a better practice anyway.
My wild ass guess is, the data view is updating, then it’s triggering your event, then it’s updating the UI. So you were probably getting in the middle of it. Glad you figured it out!
