Reset a Combobox

[Collin79]

Hi Again:

How can I do to reset a combobox to its default value, I've done a command button "new" that reset all the values on my form, but in that combobox still only the selected value (idkey that I choosed)

I'm just finishing my third beer, so maybe this answer is not so coherent...

Say, you've opted for the following construction:

cmdNew.Click
THISFORM.Reset()

METHOD Reset (on the form)
cboChoice.VALUE = <default value>
(..)

A more structured approach:
create an object cCombo based on the combobox
Add a method Reset()
Code:

LPARAMETERS tuValue
THIS.VALUE = tuValue

Now, following the same example as above:

cmdNew.Click
THISFORM.Reset()

METHOD Reset (on the form)
cboChoice.Reset( <default value> )
(..)

Ok, that's the general idea. If you're combo box has a control source set, the following also works; given the same example and given that the control source is set to THISFORM.cboValue:

cmdNew.Click
THISFORM.Reset()

METHOD Reset (on the form)
THIS.cboValue = <default value>
cboChoice.REFRESH()
(..)

The answer you probably need:
If using a controlsource; reset the controlsource value AND refresh the combobox
('cause of them beers, I did check; works fine)

Hi Collin79,

Depends on what you mean by 'default value'.

If you mean resetting it to no items selected, use MyComboBox.ListIndex = 0. Jon Hawkins
