Having Trouble returning List Box Selection Text

[rklingaman]

I'm having trouble with a part of my Program. When I'm finished I will have two list boxes one with the print server list of printers and one with users computer list of printers.

The trouble I'm having now is getting the function _GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItemsText to return the value that I have selected in the list box

The function AddPrinter at the moment just displays a message box with the printer name but its not going through for some reason.

EndFunc

_GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItemsText returns an array, not a string. Either use

$select = _GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItemsText($list1)
If $select[0] = 1 Then AddPrinter ($select[1])

or

$select = _GUICtrlListBox_GetText($list1, _GUICtrlListBox_GetCurSel($list1))
