Hi, guys,

Just new to AutoIt still.; looking through help; is there a

1. File picker

2. Multiple choice combo box?

Thanks for your advice

Look in the help file under FileOpenDialog () and GUICtrlCreateCombo()

[randallc]

Thanks so much; the FileOpenDialog() is great!

1. (Is this in the COM version? I'm having trouble woring out which is in which!)

2. The GUICreateControlCombo() gives only a single choice from the drop down list as far as I can see?

[buzz44]

Not sure about the COM, but run the example script for GUICtrlCreateCombo(). it should display something like item1|item2|item3. To create a new item you seperate it with a "|".

[randallc]

Yes, I know I can populate it; but I can only choose 1 item at a time?

I'm not quite sure what you mean... Did you try running the help file script? (See Below). To find out what is currently selected in the combo box use GUICtrlRead()

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI combo") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

GUICtrlCreateCombo ("item1", 10,10); create first item
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"item2|item3","item3"); add other item snd set a new default

GUISetState ()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

When I hold down the control button, and select from the list, only one can be selected at a time; in "FilePicker", I can select as many as I like from the dorectory list.

Yes, you can only select one item at a time. Maybe have it so when you click one the combo box it saves it to a list, so each time you click a different item in the combo box it gets added... eg "File 1" & "File 2" & "File 3"
