[SOLVED] Combobox, read another text?

[johnmcloud]

Hi guys, i have a basic gui with combobox:

Global $GUI1 = GUICreate(Title(), 218, 192, -1, -1)
Global $Combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 16, 40, 185, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN, $CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Test1|Test2|Test3|Test4|Test5")
Dim $GUI1_AccelTable[1][2] = [["!x", $MenuItem6]]
GUISetAccelerators($GUI1_AccelTable)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Maybe is a strange question, but if i select "Test1" i want to read another thing, like "001100" with a simply MsgBox

I think is possible with case, i have see this example:

Case "DES"
                    $bAlgorithm = $CALG_DES

                Case "RC2"
                    $bAlgorithm = $CALG_RC2

                Case "RC4"
                    $bAlgorithm = $CALG_RC4

But i don't have idea to use it. Thanks for support

johnmcloud,

Perhaps like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 200, 20)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Test 1|Test 2|Test 3|Test 4|Test 5")

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hCombo
            Switch GUICtrlRead($hCombo)
                Case "Test 1"
                    MsgBox(0, "Hi", "You selected 'Test 1'")
                Case "Test 2"
                    MsgBox(0, "Hi", "You selected 'Test 2'")
                Case "Test 3"
                    MsgBox(0, "Hi", "You selected 'Test 3'")
                Case "Test 4"
                    MsgBox(0, "Hi", "You selected 'Test 4'")
                Case "Test 5"
                    MsgBox(0, "Hi", "You selected 'Test 5'")
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch

WEnd

No Melba, i need to use it in a function, the msgbox is only an example for see if work

I can't write the number in combo, or noone understand it

[Melba23]

johnmcloud,

You want each selection in the combo to run the same function with a different parameter?

Please explain clearly what it is you are trying to do - I can get fed up very quickly with people who keep changing their requirements as the thread progresses.

Ok, listen

Test1 --> 0012

Test2 --> 0412

Test3 --> 0712

I can't write this number in combobox or people don't understand, but the function need number ( use external soft )

So if people select Test1, i need to run(test.exe -0012)

Hope is more clear now

Thanks for help

johnmcloud,

Just replace these lines:

MsgBox(0, "Hi", "You selected 'Test 1'")

with these:

Run("test.exe -0012")

You obviously change the -0012 to match the value that is associated with that item in the combo.

I have try to make somethig like this:

Case "test1"
      Global $out = "0012"
     Case "test2"
      Global $out = "0412"
     Case "test3"
      Global $out = "0712"

Give me error because i don't have declarate a variable.

Is possible to make something like this?

PS You solution work, but i want find a different solution this time. If i can't, i'll use yours Melba

EDIT: This solution work if i'll copy into the same func() of the .exe, thanks for support

There is only one problem now, give me error if empty.

How to resolve this? How to check if combobox is empty?

[Melba23]

johnmcloud,

Either check for the empty combo:

Case ""
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Please select a value in the combo")

Or set a default value for the combo:

GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Test 1|Test 2|Test 3|Test 4|Test 5", "Test 1")

You choose.
