Set default value for Combo Box

[allywill]

I have a combo box that have a list of values from 1 to 6. How can I set the default value to be 1?

Hi,

Use:

myComboBox.SetCurSel(0); //0 based index of combobox

	CString strValue;
	for (int i = 0; i < m_cmbValues.GetCount (); ++i)
	{
		m_cmbValues.GetLBText (i, strValue);
		if (!strValue.CompareNoCase (_T("1")))
		{		
			m_cmbValues.SetCurSel (i);
			break;
		}

	}

Instead of searching for the text in the loop (as logan suggested) you could also use CComboBox::FindStringExact method

Well I assumed that the values was 1,2,3,4,5,6 in that order.


If not, do this;

int itemToSelect = combo.FindStringExact(0,_T("3"));
combo.SetCurSel(itemToSelect);

EDIT: VIctor was faster, as usual
