hi, thanks for your response. i know i can set the model manually at point of component creation but as i understand it that code won't be executed if the page is redisplayed and the items in the DropDownChoice have changed and it would need to be duplicated each time i need this functionality. it seems to me that this functionality should be in my custom extension of the component. i could put such code in the constructor of my component but again it would not be executed when the component is redisplayed.
apologies... maybe i have got the wrong end of the stick here... maybe should this code only be executed once, and not again? john On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 11:37 AM, Nino Saturnino Martinez Vazquez Wael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > just set the model to what you want selected:) > > John wrote: >> >> hi, when using a DropDownChoice is there a way to have the value >> preselected if there is only one available and the field is required? >> >> i have looked through the code but cannot see any settings that might >> control this, and am stumped trying to work out how to extend the >> control in this way. >> >> john --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
