Probably an oversight. ListBox also does not support option groups. However you can actually set a default selection when dropping down to the DOM Element layer: SelectElement select = listBox.getElement().cast(); select.getOptions().getItem(index).setDefaultSelected(true); Hmm, that being said, it seems like there's no reset capability anyway - a > ResetButton apparently belongs only in a FormPanel, and there's no reset > method in ListBox. > If you have a FormPanel that contains the ResetButton and your ListBox then the ResetButton should just work. If you don't have a FormPanel then you have to implement the reset logic yourself as the browser won't do it for you automatically. If you want to see an API for default selection on ListBox then you should file an issue for it (and maybe also provide a patch). -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
