I have a windows form, many combo boxes, i create items and add to the items
collection in code. When viewing form, many combos have their text
selected, highlighted. Is there a preferred way to pre-select the first
item in a combo without highlighting text all the time? I am using
Combo.SelectedIndex = 0; after populating the items collection.

Thanks in advance!

you can use DropDownStyle -> DropDownList

but if you need DropDownStyle -> DropDown use:
cboL.SelectionStart
cboL.SelectionLength
