>Just a quickie. Brain gone numb today. I rarely have the source of a combo as a value list. Now I have one with just 3 values to choose from. I have the form defaulting to value 1 and I want that text to appear in the combo, but all I get is blank. I've set the combo's .value to List(1) but no joy.

A bug exists here. This should work:

BoundTo = .F.
Value = 1

but doesn't.

Workaround:

* If RowsourceType # 5
* set
Controlsource = 'this.FirstElement'
FirstElement  = 1 && 2 or 3
BoundTo = .F.
* read DisplayValue as Value

* in general

DEFINE CLASS myCombo AS Combo
  StartIndex = 1
  ControlSource = 'm.this.StartIndex'
  HIDDEN ControlSource
  HIDDEN BoundTo
