In some cases, you'll want to pre-populate the dropbox. The answer is very simple. Use #default_value.
Example
Here's an example for a taxonomy Hierarchical Select.
The vocabulary with vid 3 has the following terms:
- 6: Ford
- 7: Fiesta
The following piece of code:
<?php
$form['taxonomy'][$vid] = array(
'#type' => 'hierarchical_select',
'#title' => t('My taxonomy select'),
'#config' => array(
'module' => 'hs_taxonomy',
'params' => array(
'vid' => 3,
),
'save_lineage' => 1,
'enforce_deepest' => 0,
'resizable' => 0,
'level_labels' => array(
'status' => 0,
),
'dropbox' => array(
'status' => 1,
'title' => t('Cars'),
),
'editability' => array(
'status' => 0,
),
),
'#default_value' => array(6, 7),
);
?>would result in:

Here is a little correction
Here is a little correction on the above code.
You need to declare the "#type" field option as "hierarchical_select" otherwise the code is not going to work.
Following is the code with the little correction:
<?php$form['taxonomy'][$vid] = array(
'#type' => (module_exists('hierarchical_select')) ? 'hierarchical_select' : 'select',
'#title' => t('My taxonomy select'),
'#config' => array(
'module' => 'hs_taxonomy',
'params' => array(
'vid' => 3,
),
'save_lineage' => 1,
'enforce_deepest' => 0,
'resizable' => 0,
'level_labels' => array(
'status' => 0,
),
'dropbox' => array(
'status' => 1,
'title' => t('Cars'),
),
'editability' => array(
'status' => 0,
),
),
'#default_value' => array(6, 7),
);
?>

Where do I add this code??
So, many places on this site, shows code to add to add functionality or fix a problem but, very few tell us dummies where the code should be added. So, excuse my ignorance but, where should I add this piece of code?
