How to set the default value to nothing when using the dropdownlis

I would like to set the default value of a combobox to "nothing" or spaces
when my form loads. I am using the dropdown list property becasue i want the
end-user to select only values listed in the combobox. Also keeping the
property that when a user enters a letter the cursor goes to the records
starting with that letter.

Right now when the form loads all the comboboxes have already a value, and I
do not it to behave like that, I also tried using the dropdown property, but
this one lets the user enter other values which are not in the list.

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot.

Set the combobox's 'SelectedIndex' property to -1 to clear the selection.

Hi All, As always, my posts come with a 'Warning: Newbie lies ahead!' disclaimer... I'm wondering if it's possible, using raw_input(), to provide a 'default' value with the prompt?

I got a similar idea a couple of months ago, but now this one will require no change to the clr, is relatively easy to implement and would be a great addition to C# 3.0 :) so here we go.. To make things simpler and better readable I'd make all default parameters named parameters so that you can decide for yourself which one to pass and which not, rather than relying on massively overlaoded methods which hopefully provide the best...

I have a struct constructor to initialize all of my private (or public readonly) fields. There still exists the default constructor that sets them all to zero. Is there a way to remove the creation of this implicit default constructor, to force the creation of a struct via my constructor only? Zytan

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
