GUICtrlCreateCombo() - combining styles

[DarkBoost 0]

I love the default combo style that you can scroll through your list if it exceeds the height.

I also love the static text list which is the style I want to use but this does not allow you to scroll through the list if it exceeds the height.

So my post/question is can I combine Style A and B = see example

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

Global $list, $min = 32, $max = 1920, $step = 16

For $a = $min To $max Step $step
    If $a <> $max Then $list &= $a & "|"
    If $a =  $max Then $list &= $a
Next

GUICreate("ComboList", 300, 135)
GUISetFont(8, "", "", "verdana")

;Style A
    GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 80, 20)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $list, "1024")
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Style A - default style", 100, 10, 190, 20, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)

;Style B
    GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 50, 80, 20, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $list, "1024")
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Style B - static text list", 100, 50, 190, 20, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)

;Divider
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 85, 280, 1)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xCCCCCC)

;Style C
    GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 100, 80, 20) ;Combine Style A + B here!!!
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $list, "1024")
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Style C - Style A + B combined", 100, 100, 190, 20, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)

GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Look at the default styles, "$CBS_DROPDOWN, $CBS_AUTOHSCROLL, $WS_VSCROLL", could it be any of these? VSCROLL sounds interesting.

Try it:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $list, $min = 32, $max = 1920, $step = 16

For $a = $min To $max Step $step
    If $a <> $max Then $list &= $a & "|"
    If $a =  $max Then $list &= $a
Next

GUICreate("ComboList", 300, 135)
GUISetFont(8, "", "", "verdana")

;Style A
    GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 80, 20)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $list, "1024")
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Style A - default style", 100, 10, 190, 20, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)

;Style B
    GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 50, 80, 20, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $list, "1024")
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Style B - static text list", 100, 50, 190, 20, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)

;Divider
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 85, 280, 1)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xCCCCCC)

;Style C
    GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 100, 80, 20, BitOR($WS_VSCROLL, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)) ;Combine Style A + B here!!!
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $list, "1024")
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Style C - Style A + B combined", 100, 100, 190, 20, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)

GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Styles is combined with BitOR in case you didn't know.

There is a tutorial on setting styles here.
