Topic: Pre-Select items in a Remote Data Source for wijList or wijCombobox

Wijmo Team Member	ShirleyBarker posted on June 29, 2012 at 6:15 pm I have loaded a wijlist from a remote source and want to pre-select some of the items in the list. How is this done?

Wijmo Team Member	ShirleyBarker posted on July 3, 2012 at 2:30 pm OK, I answered my own question. Here is how I handled it: var datasource = new wijdatasource({ reader: myReader, data: roleArray, loaded: function (data) { // get items by data.items var items = data.items; for(var it in items) { for(var s in selectArray) { if(items[it].value == selectArray) { items[it].selected = true; } } } } });	Answer

Wijmo Team Member	Mike.Griffin posted on December 5, 2012 at 8:09 pm If its not working try this after you set the selection flags $(“#list”).wijlist(“renderList”); Then it will work. I had a situation where using “selectItems” was losing it’s selection due to some timing issue with knockout and doing this all in documentReady, thus I switched to manually setting the items.selected to true and it now works	Answer
