Selecting the first item in a DataList

Hi

I have created a DataList and I populate it with names and ID's
I wish to select the first item in the data list after it is populated.

Any ideas
Thanks

He is wasting your time.

Can you use a MsFlexGrid rather than a DataGrid?

Does WattsTech have any friends?

No, I could ahve had but since you do not want me I will leave this thread.

Ok, here's how to programatically select (highlight) the first item in datalist:
DataList1.SetFocus
SendKeys "{up}", True

To display the selection:
Text1.Text = DataList1.BoundText

Doesn't dbgrid have a selected property? or similar?

VB Code:

lstsummat.itemdata(0).selected=true

(just wondering)
