title: Setting the default index of my combo box only on initial open
body: <p>In response to this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8025136/vs2010-c-how-do-you-set-the-default-value-of-a-combobox-in-the-ide">VS2010/C#: How do you set the default value of a ComboBox in the IDE?</a></p>
  
  <p>According to that user, in the Delphi IDE, one is able to, in the Properties window, set the <strong><em>DEFAULT INDEX</em></strong> of a <code>comboBox</code> when you open it <strong><em>INITIALLY</em></strong>. However, no where can I find <code>Default Index</code> anywhere. When I mean initially, I mean not programmatically, and at the same time if and only if it's opened initially. </p>
  
  <p>I've tried setting the index through <code>comboBox.SelectedIndex = 0</code>, but it turns out that I would be setting it every time I run the program, so that happens not only initially, but every time I run the program. Not what I want.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know what I can do in the properties or argument events window on how I can do that..?</p>
  
  <p>When I open my program initially, this is what it looks like: </p>

  <p>EDIT: I could create a global integer counter which increments on each run, and have the default value set as 0 if and only if the integer is 0, meaning it's the first run, but if it's something I can do without doing it programmatically, that would be better.</p>
