Combobox item list confusion

[fred666777]

i dont know how i would start...or search this.

how would i make the drop down a list of .ini files saved in a certain directory

.ini files would constantly be being added/removed after each use of the program not while it is running.

i dont know if i explained well enough

files in folder

-file1.ini

-file2.ini

-file3.ini

combobox

blank on start

when click down

|combobox \/|

|file1.ini |

|file2.ini |

|file3.ini |

Use FileFindFirstFile and FileFindNextFile to get the .ini files in the folder, then just append them all together to generate the input parameter for the combobox.

You can also use _FileListToArray to dump the filenames into an array then proceed from there.

From the help file, did change

_GUICtrlComboBox_AddDir($hCombo, @WindowsDir & "\*.exe")

to

_GUICtrlComboBox_AddDir($hCombo, @WindowsDir & "\*.ini")

#AutoIt3Wrapper_au3check_parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <GUIComboBox.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

$Debug_CB = False ; Check ClassName being passed to ComboBox/ComboBoxEx functions, set to True and use a handle to another control to see it work

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $hCombo

    ; Create GUI
    GUICreate("ComboBox Add Dir", 400, 296)
    $hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 2, 2, 396, 296)
    GUISetState()

    ; Add files
    _GUICtrlComboBox_BeginUpdate($hCombo)
    _GUICtrlComboBox_AddDir($hCombo, @WindowsDir & "\*.ini")
    _GUICtrlComboBox_EndUpdate($hCombo)

    ; Loop until user exits
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc ;==>_Main

that works but do you know how i would get rid of the .ini on the end of them?

i've looked through _GUICtrlComboBox in the help file but cant find anything

Do a stringsplit() with "." as the seperator.
