OK, I'll make the widget change. But what does cbObjects.dropdown.ItemIndex := 0 do in TDropdownListEdit if it doesn't set the focus item?

In fpGUI's Maximus IDE, I could do the following: cbObjects.Items.Assign(FObjectStrings); cbObjects.FocusItem := cbObjects.Items.IndexOf(SAllString); I've change the ComboBox widget to TDropdownListEdit and your code suggestion does work. I can't seem to get the focus item set though. I use the following code to populate the combobox and set the focus item. cbObjects.dropdown.cols.count := 0; cbObjects.dropdown.cols.BeginUpdate; for i := 0 to FObjectStrings.Count-1 do cbObjects.dropdown.cols.addrow([FObjectStrings[i]]); cbObjects.dropdown.cols.EndUpdate; cbObjects.dropdown.ItemIndex := 0; // SAllString is always the 1st item > "sourcefo.activepage.filename". "sourcefo.activepage" can be nil. Nice and simple. Thanks, that worked perfectly.

The exact widget I'm using is the TSelector. > Please use TEnumEdit or TDropdownListEdit instead of TSelector. TSelector is a very special widget which can be used as base for a select widget where the displayed text and the text used for selecting are different. TEnumEdit maps text list-items to an integer, TDropdownListEdit is the nearest MSEgui equivalent of TComboBox. In order to fill the dropdown list use " with .dropdown.cols do begin beginupdate(); addrow([,...]); ... endupdate(); end; ". The items of the "cols" property are the TDataList descendents which hold the column data, so " .dropdown.cols[n].asarray:= ; " can be used if the column data is in a dynamic arrays. > 3.
