Default Item

The DropDownList enables you to configure its default item.

The defaultItem property type has to match the data type. For example, if the data property contains a list of objects, the defaultItem has to be defined as an object with the same textField and valueField as the data items.

The following example demonstrates how to define a defaultItem as a primitive value (strings, numbers, or other).
