Get default value of combo box without change

Hi,

 

Is there a way to get a default value without any click?

I want to save the default value in a variable which in this case should be "one". Any Suggestion?

 

Here is what I tried

Names Default To Here( 1 );
New Window( "Example",
	cb = Combo Box(
		{"One", "Two", "Three"},
		<<set function(function({self},
		cb << set(1, runscript(1));
		selection = cb << GetSelected();
		Print( "Selected: " || selection )));
	)
);

Re: Get default value of combo box without change

I usually use initialization values at the start of script (or configuration file). Below is simple example how those could be used here 

Names Default To Here(1);
cb_vals = {"One", "Two", "Three"};
init_cb_val = "Two";

New Window("Example",
	cb = Combo Box(
		cb_vals,
		<<set function(
			Function({self},
				selection = cb << GetSelected();
				Print("Selected: " || selection);
			)
		),
		<< Set(Contains(cb_vals, init_cb_val), 1)
	)
);

You can then initialize the selectors final value with same init_cb_val if you want to

Re: Get default value of combo box without change

I would probably do something like this.

 

default = (cb << Get Items)[1];
