I'm trying to dynamically update the text of the item that is selected in a comboboxEX after the user has changed the name of the item in an input box and hit the save button.

I was trying to use _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_ReplaceEditSel but it will not work with $CBS_DROPDOWN or $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style which is the default.

If I use another style for the comboboxEX it looks like a list box...which doesn't work for what I am trying to do.

So what is the work around on this for what I am trying to do if any?

I am currently reviewing options with _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_SetItem, but not sure how I could implement this into what I'm trying to do.

Thoughts?

Why are you using the ComboBoxEx instead of ComboBox?

[xeroTechnologiesLLC]

The data in the combo box is being filled in using an array from an .ini file.
I was unsuccessful in accomplishing the same thing with a regular combo box.
Apologies for not specifying that earlier.

From help

ComboBoxEx Controls are an extension of the combo box control that provides native support for item images.

So you should use ComboBox instead of ComboBoxEx

[xeroTechnologiesLLC]

Such as the help file does quote that, that is absolutely not the case unless there is another method to reading an ini into a base combo box.
I have attempted it 3 different ways in a simple gui form with a combo box and was unsuccessful in filling the combo box with the array information from the .ini file.

Unless yall have a method designed I could use.

Apologies for the time waste.

The below works for what I need it to do which is essentially change the text in the combo box to the new name of the item.

ControlSetText($optionsGUI, "", "[CLASS:ComboBoxEx32; INSTANCE:2]", $macroName)
