control handle of combobox

[vimala 0]

hello sir/madam

I have tried with _guictrlcomboboxEx _* and _guictrlcombobox_* and these are not working with combobox.

further each time control handle keeps changing.which handle to be given in commands ie window or control handle?

I have even tried with control commands "select string" and this is not working.can u suggest some more commands to send values to combobox .

thanks a lot for your reply

Some questions that come to my mind:

• Do you create the combobox yourself or is it the combobox of another program?
• What do you want to do with the combobox? Do you want to add new values to the combox?
• Could you show the code you have so far?

i need to automate by reading excel sheet values

the code here is

MouseMove(527,523)

MouseDown("left")

MouseUp("left")

$value12=$val12[$j]

$val12=_ExcelReadarray($oExcel,6,12,7,1,0)

_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel(0x00010014,10)

You could use AutoIt's Window Info Tool "Au3Info.exe" to get the ControlId of the Combobox and then ControlGetHandle to get the handle of the combobox.

Then you can use the _GUICtrlComboBox_* commands on that handle.

_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel(0x00010014,10)

You should get the handle with ControlGetHandle(), as water posted.

But if you should want to declare a literal handle (which will only work in the current instance of the GUI as handles change every time) use Hwnd():

$hCombo = Hwnd(0x00010014)
_GuiCtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hCombo, 10)

.NET is a pain to automate. The best thing you can do is get the control information by it's client coordinates position on the applications GUI.

Once you get the controls position, _CtrlGetByPos or look at the _WinAPI_WindowFromPoint(), then you can start to manipulate with some _GUICtrlCombo* functions.

One thing I'll say is, in my experience, you do quite a bit of ControlSend/ControlClick/Control* functions rather than using the UDF functions, because there's always an underlying control to the control you're trying to manipulate it seems.

In addition, please refrain from typing in Caps, it's considered offensive to some, and it makes it hard to read for others.

WHOAH!!!

I never said you couldn't get the info of a .NET listbox ( in fact, that's simple! ).

You were talking ComboBox... whole different thing!

Glad you found a solution, but what I posted works too!
