Combobox / placeholder, helper ,or default value among a list

[chris tophe]

Hi,

i have a list carList = ["ferrari","porsche","tesla","dolorean"]

and a combobox comboCar = wx.ComboBox(self.panel1, pos=(400, 100), choices=carList, style=wx.CB_READONLY)

1-i have a blank in the combobox before selecting,  where i would like to have written inside "select car" (instead of adding a statictext uppon it) ie a placeholder

2-if i want a defaut choice as dolorean ?.

3-if i just want a helper without placeholder nor default choice ?

Make your list ["--Select car--", "Ferrari", "Porsche", "Tesla",
"Delorean"].  You can check in the click handler that they don't choose
"--Select car--".

You can't have a "select car" option along with a default choice.  It
doesn't make sense.  What would the user experience be here?

This question doesn't make sense to me, either.  Perhaps you should
sketch something in a drawing app to show us what you are picturing.
