Setting Default Selected Item in a Combo Box

When using a combo box, how can I set it to display the currently selected item by default? For example, if the default is the first item, which is "1", what should I do to have the combo box show "7" as the currently selected item by default, as shown in the image below?

a = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0"};
New Window( "Test", 

	testCB = Combo Box( a, )
);

Re: Setting Default Selected Item in a Combo Box

Hi @BabyDoragon ,

 

You can use the 'set' function to place it into the position on the list (this has to be the numbered order for the combo box list)

 

a = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0"};
New Window( "Test", 

	testCB = Combo Box( a, )
);

testcb<<set (1); //set to first position

Re: Setting Default Selected Item in a Combo Box

Extending a little on bens solution

Names Default To Here(1);

options = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0"};
initial_option = "7";

nw = New Window( "Test", 
	combob = Combo Box(options, << Set(Contains(options, initial_option)))
);

Scripting Index is usually good place to start
