How do you reset combo-boxes?

I have this form with combo-boxes and input textfields, and I want a button that can reset the form.

The input textboxes are easy:  
TextBox1.text = “”;

But the combo-boxes…well, I dunno

Place this code on the button:[AS]on (press) {  
combo\_box\_instancename.removeAll();  
}  
[/AS]

That makes the combo-boxes stop working. I just want to reset the values to the first value in the list.
