What is proper way to use activeItem in select xtype?

[profunctional]

I am setting activeItem to 0, hoping that the first item will select it. But it ignores it.



xtype: 'select',
id : 'ddlStatus',
valueField : 'CustomStatusId',
displayField : 'CustomStatus',
store : ticketStatusStore,
activeItem: 0

Ok, I narrowed it down . It seems like loading the store right before displaying the form is what causes the problem.


loadDDLData(); //this populates the store for the select form item.
ticketform = new Ext.form.FormPanel(ticketFormBase); //then i show the form
mainPanel.setCard(ticketform, {type: 'slide', direction: 'up'});

so what is the proper way to bind dropdown lists dynamically as the form is rendered/loaded?

I also would like to know how to bind dropdown lists dynamically as I'm having a horrible time with this... anyone have an example? Thanks.
