how to make Combo Box same select tag in html

[changtraingheo 0]

in the autoit, to make combox use this code:

$input_second_mau = GUICtrlCreateCombo("item1",105,22,50)
GUICtrlSetData($input_second_mau, "item2|item3", "item3")

I try get value when select an item with code:

MsgBox(0,"title","Value = " & GUICtrlRead($input_second_mau))

If i select item 3, i got value is "item3". It's get text not get value of combo box, if i change "item3" to "Help and Support" .. i got value is "Help and support" too, it's so hard compare, example:

if GUICtrlRead($input_second_mau) == "Help and Support" .... ; it's not good

In the html:

<select onChange="alert(this.value)">
<option value="1">Item 1</option>
<option value="2">Help and support</option>
</select>

when i select Help and Support, i got value is 2. I'm a newbie, i need help this problem. Thanks

Hi,

you can do this with a little Switch ... EndSwitch:

Switch GUICtrlRead($input_second_mau)
        Case "Item1"
                $value = 1
        Case "Item2"
                $value = 2
        Case "Item3"
                $value = 3
EndSwitch

But I'm afraid, that autoit does not differ between value and description here.
