Combo box help

[celllllllll]

Hi All, I need to know how to set a default value in Combo Box. For example, right now I have a combo box with 3 times in it (Train, Bus, Both). I need to set "BOTH" as a default value in the combo box. Thanks in advance :)

You can send the combobox a CB_SETCURSEL message (CComboBox::SetCurSel() in MFC). Mark

Thanks a lot Can I do it in 'Combo Box properties dialog'..or need to write a code for it?

Only at runtime, anytime after the Windows object (HWND) is created. In response to the WM_INITDIALOG message is a good place :) Mark

And...you'll want to do that AFTER you add items to the combobox! Mark

Here comes another thing...I need to do it dynamically. SetCurSel will make it static. Thanks again

How so? It should just select/highlight the string, scrolling it into view if necessary.
