python add-in combobox to show self.value when first loaded

[JelmerOosthoek]

Using self.value it is possible to preset the value of the combo box (one of the values in the self.items list). But this value is not shown when the add-in is first loaded, you still see a blank combo box, even after self.refresh(). How can I show the selected value?

This is not the most important functionality, but I think it would make the add-in I'm working on more easily understood by users.

This combobox worked without issue for me:

# coding: utf-8
import arcpy
import pythonaddins

class ComboBoxClass1(object):
    """Implementation for Dropdown_addin.combobox (ComboBox)"""
    def __init__(self):
        self.value = "Hello"
        self.items = ["Hello", "Goodbye"]
        self.editable = True
        self.enabled = True
        self.dropdownWidth = 'WWWWWW'
        self.width = 'WWWWWW'

Thanks! That did the trick! I needed to set self.enabled and self.editable to True.
