Darryl Singh How does one set a SelectOption to "selected" in APEX?
Hi Everyone!
While building a list of SelectOptions of Users, all options default to unselected. However, when the User matches the logged-on user, we need to set the SelectOption to selected. How can this be done in the following code?
public List<SelectOption> getFSEOptions() {
List<SelectOption> FSEoptions = new List<SelectOption>();
for (Field_Service_Engineer__c f : [select id, user__r.name from Field_Service_Engineer__c
order by user__r.name]) {
FSEoptions.add(new SelectOption(f.id,f.user__r.name));
}
return FSEoptions;
}
In the VF page, your code will look like this:
<apex:selectList value="{!selectedValue}" size="1">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!FSEOptions}"/>
</apex:selectList>
The value attribute on selectlist tag is used to capture as well as to set the selected value. So, from your controller assign the loggedin user's value to the "selectedValue" variable.

Hi Sorna,
I'm brand new to VF/APEX, so your answer clears up a lot of conceptual issues for me, too. A million thanks - you rock!
