Instead of pre-loading in the input field, try pre-loading the property in
your form backing object (model) - so call setArrivalDate() or just ensure
that PaymentInfoInput.arrivalDate is not null

I feel like I've asked this question before...but here I am again.  I'm
simply trying to set a selected value for a DropDownChoice when a page is
loaded.

I've tried pre-loading it into the input class, setting it in
getDefaultChoice, and also by trying to pass a model into the control w/
the
value in the getObject method.  I'm sure it's a simple thing but the
DropDownChoice is tricky at times...for me anyhow.

Here's my control:

                        //get calendar days (buffer by 2 days & go 1 month
ahead)
                        List<String> days = DateTime.getDaysListForward(2,
1, true);

                        //create dropdown w/ days List
                        DropDownChoice arrivalChoices = new
DropDownChoice("arrivalDate", days)
                        {
                                protected String getDefaultChoice(final
Object selected)
                                {
                                        return ""; //get rid of "Choose
One" default
                                }
                        };

                        //override key/value in dropdown
                        arrivalChoices.setChoiceRenderer(new
IChoiceRenderer()
                        {
                                public String getIdValue(Object object,
int index)
                                {
                                        return object.toString();
                                }

                                public String getDisplayValue(Object
object)
                                {
                                        //format differently for display,
i.e. "Thu, Mar 2"
                                        return
DateTime.getCartDateFormatString(object.toString());
                                }
                        });

It simply loads a list of strings that are converted dates, they look like

"Fri, Mar 6", "Sat, Mar 7", etc.

The form input class looks like this:

public class PaymentInfoInput implements Serializable
{
        private int expiryMonth;
        private int expiryYear;
        private String number;
        private String securityCode;
        private String giftMessage;
        private String arrivalDate;
.....................
}

I tried pre-loading the arrivalDate into the input before passing it into
the form like so:

................................

                PaymentInfoInput input = new PaymentInfoInput();
                input.setArrivalDate(
                                DateTime.getCartDateFormatString (
order.getEstArrivalDate().toString()));

                add(new PaymentInfoForm("paymentInfoForm", input));

...............................

...but it doesn't seem to work.

How can I make this item selected in the dropdown list when the page
loads?
