Default value for combo box

[Russ1005]

In VFP 7, I have a combo box where:

boundcolumn = 2
columnlines = .F.
DisplayValue = Dealer
name = cboPayeeType
rowsource = Dealer,D,Manufacturer,M,Distributor,R
rowsourcetype = 1 - Value

I want Dealer/ D to be the default value but it is currently blank on the screen even though displayvalue contains "dealer". The cboPayeeType.value is 'D' when Dealer is selected, 'M' when Manufacturer is selected, etc.. (boundcolumn 2).

How do I make Dealer the default?

You need to use:

thisform.cboPayeeType.LISTINDEX=1

in your init of the form.

This will highlight the first choice which should be dealer

Actually that displays a 6 which is the rowsource value that is the primary key to a record that contains a memo field that holds the following: Dealer,D,Manufacturer,M,Distributor,R

This code is in the init event of the parent class.
This.Rowsource = LoadMemo(This.Rowsource)

I put the following code in the form's init event and it's working now.

DODEFAULT()
thisform.cboPayeeType.Value = 'D'
