var obj = new AW.UI.Combo;

obj.setId("myCombo");

/********************************************************************
Size and position

// obj.setControlSize(100, 30); // width, height
// obj.setControlPosition(10, 100); // left, top - adds 'position:absolute'

/********************************************************************
Input

obj.setControlText("Some text");
obj.setControlImage("favorites");

/********************************************************************
Dropdown list

obj.setItemText(["Home", "Favorites", "Font size", "Search"]);
obj.setItemImage(["home", "favorites", "fontsize", "search"]);
obj.setItemCount(4);

document.write(obj);

Dude, i read the basic docs lol.

That doesnt set a default value to the combobox, i need to set a Value AND a Text. Or just select the right row in the combobox.

u dont need the value, just work with the text and INDEX.
look the COMBO UI class.

AW.UI.Combo.create = function(){

    AW.UI.ImageText.create.call(this);
    AW.UI.Input.create.call(this);
    AW.Templates.Combo.create.call(this);

    var obj = this.prototype;

    obj.setClass("ui", "combo");
    obj.setClass("input", "");

    obj.defineTemplate("popup", new AW.Templates.Frame);

    obj.onCurrentItemChanged = function(i){
        var text = this.getItemText(i);
        this.setControlText(text);

        this.hidePopup();

        var e = this.getContent("box/text").element();
        if (AW.safari) {
            e.innerHTML = text;
        }
        else {
            e.value = text;
            e.select();
        }
        e = null;
    };

    obj.setController("selection", {
        onKeyUp:			"selectPreviousItem",
        onKeyDown:			"selectNextItem",
        onItemClicked:		"selectClickedItem"
    });

};

Maybe you can find an answer in this post:

See:

A combo of your thread and mine, and Paulo's reply, helped me figure it all out.

oh yeah, i remember that, nice Paul.
