[make]

Hi,
is there any chance to set an default value for a combo box ?

Seveal ways...

First and most straight-forward would be to hard-code a value in the "Initial Value" field in the "Advanced" properties of the combo-box object.

-or-

At some point in the code - like on load of the screen or on refresh or in a clear-fields procedure - just set the "screen-value":
cb-name:SCREEN-VALUE = "default value" - assuming that value is in the "list-items" of the combo-box.

-or-

You can always default it to the "first" entry using:
cb-name:SCREEN-VALUE = cb-name:ENTRY(1)

I HIGHLY recommend you use the LIST-ITEM-PAIRS when ever possible (I think that's specific to V9 though?).
