How to make JavaFX 2.0 ChoiceBox to select its first element

When I create a JavaFX 2.0 ChoiceBox instance like this:

final ChoiceBox<String> fontChBox = 
  new ChoiceBox<>(FXCollections.observableArrayList("First", "Second", "Third"));

a choice box is displayed with no selection. I would like to select the first element by default. How to do it in JavaFX 2.0?

Try following solution

//use this to display first option.
mychoicebox.getSelectionModel().selectFirst();


//to display specific option
mychoicebox.getSelectionModel().selectFirst(index position);

Try this,

fontChBox.getSelectionModel().select(0);

if you need to select an element other than the first, pass the index of the element instead of zero.
