Jewtus Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Have you tried: $Input1 = GuiCtrlCreatecombo("These|Are|different|Drop|downs", 10, 10, 100, 20) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted October 22, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 22, 2014 Merchants,You need a "cuebanner": #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiComboBox.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $cCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 300, 20) GUICtrlSetData($cCombo, "These|are|the|selections") _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCueBanner($cCombo, "Not a selection") $cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 50, 80, 30) GUICtrlSetState($cButton, $GUI_FOCUS) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEndNote that the text is only visible when the combo does not have focus - which is why I added the button.

Merchants Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 M23 not bad, but it was not what i was looking for i know one solution but only if there is no other way can you confirm this M23? #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiComboBox.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $cCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 300, 20) GUICtrlSetData($cCombo, "These|are|the|selections") _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCueBanner($cCombo, "Not a selection") $cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 50, 80, 30) $testButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test2", 10, 100, 80, 30) GUICtrlSetState($cButton, $GUI_FOCUS) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $testButton ControlSetText("[CLASS:AutoIt v3 GUI]", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "New Text Here" ) EndSwitch WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted October 22, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 22, 2014 Merchants, M23 not bad, but it was not what i was looking forBut it is exactly what you asked for - you need to explain your requirements more carefully in future. If you want to rest the cuebanner within the script then you just need to redefine it: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiComboBox.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $cCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 300, 20) GUICtrlSetData($cCombo, "These|are|the|selections") _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCueBanner($cCombo, "Not a selection") $cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 50, 80, 30) $testButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test2", 10, 100, 80, 30) GUICtrlSetState($cButton, $GUI_FOCUS) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $testButton _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCueBanner($cCombo, "New text here") EndSwitch WEndM23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Solution Melba23 Posted October 22, 2014 Moderators Solution Share Posted October 22, 2014 Merchants,I understand now - and the only way I can imagine it is possible is the method you have shown above, although you can streamline the syntax a bit: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $cCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 300, 20) GUICtrlSetData($cCombo, "|These|are|the|selections") ControlSetText($hGUI, "", $cCombo, "Not a selection") $cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Change Text", 10, 50, 80, 30) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $cButton ControlSetText($hGUI, "", $cCombo, "Nor is this a selection either") EndSwitch WEndM23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
