Silly combo box questionHi,
I've looked over and over and in MSDN 2005 and just can't find what is a really simple answer. How do I select the first value in a combo box to be shown? I tried the .selectedindex -1 but it doesn't work. At the moment it populates fine but it just remains blank unless I dropdown the list.

The first is 0 as most things that are derived from classic VB. If you want an empty box by not binded data than you can use -1.

Actually, I think the implementation in 2.0 sets the selectedindex to 0 then -1 if you try to set it to -1 when it is currently > 0, which effectively means that unselecting a value will cause a value to be selected temporarily and then unselected. This to me is more silly than the original question which has already been answered. Jim Wooley http://devauthority.com/blogs/jwooley/default.aspx
