ComboBox question

[anybastard]

Hi guys ,

i need your help and or advice as usual

My target is this :

Create a combo box -> set a value and store this value in a variable

here my code

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 301, 149, 192, 124)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 24, 16, 161, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "c:\|d:\|e:\|f:\|g:\", "c:\")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 72, 80, 145, 33)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
 
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $Button1
$value = GUICtrlRead ($Combo1)
MsgBox (0, "testvalue",   $value)
 
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd

I add a msg to check my result .

But is this the only way to do this or there is other easy way ??

Thanks so much for your suggestion and advice

Best Regards

anybastard,

You could just look for the combo event:

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

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 301, 149, 192, 124)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 24, 16, 161, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN, $CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "c:\|d:\|e:\|f:\|g:\", "c:\")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $Combo1
            $value = GUICtrlRead($Combo1)
            MsgBox(0, "testvalue", $value)
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd
