GUI ComboBox w. Edit Disabled and _GUICtrlComboBox_GetEditText Enabled

[kag]

I'm trying to create a combobox with the edit control disabled AND the ability to read the currently selected item and/or index. It seems like I can do one or the other, but not both. If I disable the edit control, then _GUICtrlComboBox_GetEditText does not work. Here's the code:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <ComboConstants.au3>

#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $combo

Example()

Func Example()

Local $msg

$combo = GUICreate("My GUI combo") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

GUICtrlCreateCombo("item1", 10, 10, -1, -1, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST); create first item

GUICtrlSetData(-1, "item2|item3", "item3"); add other item and set a new default

GUISetState()

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "ComboEvent")

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

WEnd

EndFunc ;==>Example

Func ComboEvent()

local $text, $idx

$text = _GUICtrlComboBox_GetEditText($combo)

$idx = _GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel($combo)

MsgBox(0, "ComboEvent", "idx = " & $idx & @CRLF & "text = " &$text)

EndFunc

You made some mistakes

Try this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $hgui = GUICreate("My GUI combo") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
Global $combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("item1", 10, 10, -1, -1, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST); create first item
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "item2|item3", "item3"); add other item and set a new default
GUISetState()
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "ComboEvent")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While Sleep(10000)
WEnd


Func ComboEvent()
local $text, $idx
$text = GUICtrlRead($combo)
$idx = _GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel($combo)
MsgBox(0, "ComboEvent", "idx = " & $idx & @CRLF & "text = " &$text)
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc
