Does AutoIT work with windows 2000?

[dazza]

When I run a GUI in Windows 2000 Professionsal and Server, Comboboxes don't work and nor do button presses. It appears that 2000 is missing something that AutoIT needs.

Can this be solved?

Combobox's do work on 2K, XP has an automatic height setting which scales combo boxes, 2000 needs to have a height specified, try a height value of 120 and see how you go.

This my code:

$ch2_percent = GUICtrlCreateCombo("%", 172, 53, 60, 30)
    For $f = 0 to 127
        GUICtrlSetData($ch2_percent, $f)
    Next

The Combobox is shown on 2000; it just doesnt populate. I wrote the app on XP and it works fine.

It does but the 30 value isn't big enough to display a dropdown!

Change 30 to 130 and try again

$ch2_percent = GUICtrlCreateCombo("%", 172, 53, 60, 130)

Works a treat. Many thanks. I'll always make the height 100+ now as a matter of course.
