Default value for dropdown combo list box?

Author	Message
David Wrig #1 / 4	Default value for dropdown combo list box? My dropdown list boxes are all empty until my user clicks on the down arrow and displays the dropdown list. Is there a way to put a value in there so they don't have to click on every box? I tried writing the .value, but VB said 'that property is read only'! I fill the list boxes with 'add.item'. I tried add.item 0 and that did not work either.

Kim McKenzi #3 / 4	Default value for dropdown combo list box? You can also set the text porperty of a combo box combo1.text = combo1(index).value Or use a literal combo1.text = "Joe" Quote: > After filling it, set the ListIndex property to 0 to > display the first entry. > ... > George > GridLinx Software Programming Tools for VB Programmers > http://www.gridlinx.com > > My dropdown list boxes are all empty until my user clicks on the down arrow > > and displays the dropdown list. > > Is there a way to put a value in there so they don't have to click on every > > box? > > I tried writing the .value, but VB said 'that property is read only'! > > I fill the list boxes with 'add.item'.

david car #4 / 4	Default value for dropdown combo list box? set the index property after you have filled the box. if you fill it at design time, set the index then, otherwise right after you have populated it, choose the default.
