Visual Studio195
Hi,



I have a datacombo which holds a list of dates i.e.

02/01/2006

01/01/2006

31/12/2005



I would like the datacombo.text to display the first record in the datacombo

i.e. 02/01/2006 without having to actually select it from the lost. Is this

possible?



Appreciate the help



Thanks



Damon

Why don't you use a standard combo set to the dropdown list style? It isn't

hard to populate a combo with code.

I have used a standard combo instead but how can I display the last item in

the list as the combobox.text?



Appreciate the help.

The ListIndex property is used to select (and read) an item in the list via

code. For your question, this line will do what you want...



Combo1.ListIndex = Combo1.ListCount - 1
