Hello,

Please help me out with this one.
I got a (set of ) Combobox(es), set to 'dropdown list'.

I add items to the list using 'additem'

DataBar_06.db06_combo(0).AddItem ("TestVehicle 1")
DataBar_06.db06_combo(0).AddItem ("TestVehicle 2")
etc.

When the program goes into runtime, it works as it should but initially the
combobox is blank.
I want to show the first item of the list in startup.

I tried changing the 'text' property, but it doesn't work, it is read only.

Any help is appreciated,
gb

Try using this statement after the ComboBox has been populated...

DataBar_06.db06_combo(0).ListIndex = 0
