IE combobox

[Hadez]

Hi, currently im using a pretty noob way to select a catagory from a combobox. Does anyone know a better way to do this? It will select a catagory based on a variable name. It will basically be, If $variable says 'book' then select the option 'book' from drop down list.

$oCatagory = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "type")
WinSetState($oHWND, "", @SW_ENABLE)
_IEAction($oCatagory, "focus")
send("e")
send("e") ;to get to the 2nd name beginning with 'e' in the list

Any help would be much appreciated

I think you are looking for _IEFormElementOptionselect.

$oCatagory = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "type")
    _IEFormElementOptionselect ($oCatagory, "Book", 1, "bytext")

Works great. Cheers mate for the pointer
