I have a Drop-Down List Box that I would like to set the Default for programatically.  What property to set and where should it be set?

Thanks..

<QUOTE>Don,



In my own programming I have used a GOTFOCUS handler that sets the default. If you want to do this properly you must distinguish between the first time you arrive at the listbox and a later time (the user might tab and click around and arrive at the listbox several times). It's only the first time the default should be set.



Anyway - to set the default value you can use either



OldVal=Set_Property( ListBoxCtrlName, "TEXT", DefaultValue )



or



OldVal=Set_Property( ListBoxCtrlName, "SELPOS", Number )
