    I have a combo box with a whole bunch of items, that look like this.
    (Data, Label)
    (1,A)
    (2,B)
    (3,C)
    (4,D)

    How do I make it start with (2,B) selected?

    Thanks,
    Rachel

    try

    Code:
    myComboBox.setSelectedIndex(1);

    Thanks, but how do I dynamically assign it? I want to be able to pass in either 1 or B, and have it find the index.

    Then you're going to have to loop through your combobox data and label array until you find the required item, and then keep the index
