Set selected item

I have a combo box created and filled:

    window.dhx_globalImgPath="./Common/imgs/Combo/";
    WindowsSkinCombo=new dhtmlXCombo("WindowsSkinZone","alfa1",328,'image');
    WindowsSkinCombo.loadXML("./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/windows.xml");

and

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<complete>
    <option value="aqua_dark" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Aqua_Dark.png">Aqua Dark</option>
    <option value="aqua_orange" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Aqua_Orange.png">Aqua Orange</option>
    <option value="aqua_sky" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Aqua_Sky.png">Aqua Sky</option>
    <option value="clear_blue" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Clear_Blue.png">Clear Blue</option>
    <option value="clear_green" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Clear_Green.png">Clear Green</option>
    <option value="clear_silver" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Clear_Silver.png">Clear Silver</option>
    <option value="modern_black" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Modern_Black.png">Modern Black</option>
    <option value="modern_blue" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Modern_Blue.png">Modern Blue</option>
    <option value="modern_red" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Modern_Red.png">Modern Red</option>
    <option value="standard" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Standard.png">Standard</option>
    <option value="web" img_src="./Common/imgs/Skins/Windows/Web.png">Web</option>
</complete>


That is working fine. Now, I save the selected item by using: WindowsSkinCombo.getSelectedValue()

But when I load the saved value, how do I then make the item be the currently selected one?

I thought is was: WindowsSkinCombo.setComboValue(value) but that just changes the actual value, not make it the selected one.

The call of setComboValue must change both value and text of combo, if it doesn't work correctly for you - please try to use attached js file instead of original one.
