Grantgimp,

First, welcome to the AutoIt forums.

A good start - some code to work on and a clear question. I wish some other newcomers would do the same. :D

You are trying to call a 1-D array with 2 dimension coordinates. FileListToArray produces a 1D array ($FileList), so when you try and list it with 2 dimensions (GUICtrlSetData($hCombo,$FileList[$X][0])) you get an error.

You should also not put the first element in the combobox - it is merely a count of the remaining elements. But you can use it to limit the loop. :D

Change the relevant lines in your code to this:

For $x = 1 To $FileList[0]
        GUICtrlSetData($hCombo, $FileList[$x])

And all should be well.

P.S. It makes it easier to read your code if you use Code tags. Put [autoit ] before and [/autoit ] after your posted code (but omit the trailing space - it is only there so the tags display here).

Another method since you already have array.au3 #included

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIComboBox.au3>
$Directory=@DesktopDir & "\Current Service"
$FileList=_FileListToArray($Directory,"*.ppt")
If @Error=1 Then
MsgBox (0,"","No Files\Folders Found.")
Exit
EndIf
;- _ArrayDisplay($FileList,"$FileList")
if $FileList[0] = 1 Then
$x = 1
Else
$hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI combo",300,100) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
$hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10,"","",$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
;$hCombo = _GUICtrlComboBox_Create($hGUI, "", 2, 2, 296, 20,$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST )
;Populate

GUICtrlSetData($hCombo,_ArrayToString($FileList))


$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Retrieve Value",100,40,100)

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
Case $hButton
MsgBox(0,"",$aData[_GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel($hCombo)][0])

EndSwitch
WEnd
;~ _ArrayDisplay($FileList,"$FileList")
;~ $x = InputBox("Select Service", "Please select the PowerPoint file you wish to show", 1)
EndIf
MsgBox("", "",@ProgramFilesDir & "\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\POWERPNT.EXE /s """ & $Directory & "\" & $FileList[$x] & """")

Thanks to you both.

One final question in connection with George's response -

Is there anyway of not including [0] item when

GUICtrlSetData($hCombo,_ArrayToString($FileList))

as I don't want the number of items in the array included in the combo box?

Another method since you already have array.au3 #included

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIComboBox.au3>
$Directory=@DesktopDir & "\Current Service"
$FileList=_FileListToArray($Directory,"*.ppt")
If @Error=1 Then
MsgBox (0,"","No Files\Folders Found.")
Exit
EndIf
;- _ArrayDisplay($FileList,"$FileList")
if $FileList[0] = 1 Then
$x = 1
Else
$hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI combo",300,100) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
$hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10,"","",$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
;$hCombo = _GUICtrlComboBox_Create($hGUI, "", 2, 2, 296, 20,$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST )
;Populate

GUICtrlSetData($hCombo,_ArrayToString($FileList))


$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Retrieve Value",100,40,100)

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
Case $hButton
MsgBox(0,"",$aData[_GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel($hCombo)][0])

EndSwitch
WEnd
;~ _ArrayDisplay($FileList,"$FileList")
;~ $x = InputBox("Select Service", "Please select the PowerPoint file you wish to show", 1)

Sure is

GUICtrlSetData($hCombo,_ArrayToString($FileList, "|", 1))

Edit: If you want it to set a default value then use it like this

GUICtrlSetData($hCombo,_ArrayToString($FileList, "|", 1), $FileList[1])

Yiu can change the [1] to whatever element you want as the default. The example uses the first element but changing it to [3] would set it to the third.

Grantgimp,

_GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel returns the "Zero-based index of the currently selected item". So you need to add 1 to the return to get the value of the text (remember that element [0] is a count!). But you can get the selected text directly by using:

GUICtrlRead($hCombo)

I hope this helps.

Thanks to GeoSoft and Melba23, here is the final script which copies all files from $Source (in this case "F:") to $Directory (in this case "Current Service" on the Desktop) then if there is only 1 PowerPoint file in $Source, it automatically shows it, otherwise if there's more than 1, the user selects the powerpoint file they want from a list and then it is automatically shown.

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIComboBox.au3>
$Source="F:\*.*"
$Directory=@DesktopDir & "\Current Service"
$FileExtn="*.ppt"
$ApplSrce=@ProgramFilesDir & "\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\POWERPNT.EXE /s """
FileCopy($Source, $Directory & "\", 9)
$FileList=_FileListToArray($Directory,$FileExtn)
If @Error=1 Then
MsgBox (0,"","No Files\Folders Found.")
Exit
EndIf
if $FileList[0] = 1 Then
Run($ApplSrce & $Directory & "\" & $FileList[1] & """")
Else
$hGUI = GUICreate("Multiple Services",300,100) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
$hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10,"","",$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
GUICtrlSetData($hCombo,_ArrayToString($FileList, "|", 1), $FileList[1])

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show",100,40,100)

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
Case $hButton
Run($ApplSrce & $Directory & "\" & $FileList[_GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel($hCombo)+1] & """")
WinClose("Multiple Services")
EndSwitch
WEnd
EndIf
