Combo box default

[Imbriani]

Does anyone know how to set the default value for a combobox or a listbox? I have a very simple combo box with three values. I want the top value to be the default so the user can just hit enter and select that entry without having to use the down key to select the entry unless another selection is necessary, which is rare. Sounds easy, I know, but I've been unable to find this info in books.

Don't know if it's the absolute best way but I always use:

Combo1.Text = Combo1.List(0)

Hope this helps

Try:

Combo1.ListIndex = 0

This will show you first entry.


Have fun.

wonderful! I knew it would be something simple. Does this go best under the GotFocus event?

Use it where you add the data to your combobox.

Or wherever you need to reset the combo to display the first item.
