My mind is blank!

If I have COMBO element with the LIST style, populate the LIST with LIST LOADTEXT etc., How do I put the first item into the COMBO element so that it displays the first item.

I have done it before, but I have completely forgotten how

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you mean..

Code:
DIALOG ADD,COMBO,name,50,50,50,50,,,SORTED

dialog set,name,@item(1)
dialog set,name,@text(1)
list assign,name,%%text


does that help any?

No, I meant something like this:-

Code:

DIALOG ADD,COMBO,PLSI,410,16,130,21,1000000.00,,LIST

LIST LOADTEXT,PLSI
"1,000,000.00
"2,000,000.00
"3,000,000.00
"4,000,000.00
"5,000,000.00



DIALOG SET,PLSI,"1,000,000.00" does not work, as you have to select the item in the list somehow, but I have forgotten how!

Cheers

Try to remove the LIST parameter in your code and you'll probably see it working.....

Not quite sure why though Shocked

No, I want the user to be only able to chose the items in the drop down list! If LIST is omitted then the user can input anything they like into the list.

I just want to populate the dialog with the first item in the list which DIALOG SET does not do.

I have done it before, I have just forgotten how!

Cheers
