setting a default value for a combo box...

Brad Pears

In my vb.net 2005 project I have a few combo boxes where I want to set a
default value. I am not binding these combo boxes - I am loading the values
directly in code from a dataset.

Obviously the default I am settign will be one of the values from teh drop
down list..

How do you set a default value for a combo box??

Thanks, Brad

PS... If I try to set the text property, whatever I type in there is
erased... This is what I thought I would have to do to set a default...

Brad,

If the combo box contains strings, you can set the SelectedItem property to
one of the strings to select it.

Or you can set the SelectedIndex property to the zero-based index of the
item to be selected.

Keep in mind that selecting a default value will have the side effect of
causing the SelectedIndexChanged event to fire.
