Setting initial value of a Win32::GUI Combobox

boat73 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am creating a combobox with the following code and would like to set the initial text to be blue. I figured that the -text option would do it but it doesn't. Could anyone tell me what I am missing? Thanks, boat73

$box = $main->AddCombobox( 
    -name   => "blue",
    -left   => 20, 
    -top    => 35,
    -width  => 600, 
    -height => 500,
    -style  => WS_VSCROLL | WS_VISIBLE | 3 | WS_NOTIFY,
            );
   $Schedtask_combo1->Add("Yellow", "Blue", "Green", "Red");

Isn't it just calling `->Select`? `$Schedtask_combo1 = $main->AddCombobox( -name => "blue", -left => 20, -top => 35, -width => 600, -height => 500, -style => WS_VSCROLL \| WS_VISIBLE \| 3 \| WS_NOTIFY, ); $Schedtask_combo1->Add("Yellow", "Blue", "Green", "Red"); $Schedtask_combo1->Select($Schedtask_combo1->FindString("Blue")); # or: $Schedtask_combo1->Select(1);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
