How to find a default value to AutoComplete Control

Hi,

I am using AutoComplete control where i populate it with data from an oData service

var control= new sap.ui.commons.AutoComplete({

displaySecondaryValues: true,

items: {

path: "/",

template: new sap.ui.core.ListItem({text:"{NAME}", key:"{HOSPITAL_ID}", additionalText:"{STATE}"})

}

});

This is my implementation in fragment and in on after rendering I want to bind a default value to it.How can I achieve this?

for e.g.:

In drop down box I can achieve this with the below code

_myController.dropDownBox.bindProperty("selectedKey","HOSPITAL_ID");

I tried with similar approaches for AutoComplete control but I cannot bind value to it..Anyone can suggest a possible solutions please?

Best Regards,
