[SOLVED] - Problems with Dropdown and $CBS_DROPDOWN


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I am trying to make a combo box with which the user cannot edit the contents, like the dropdown from the image below.

The problem is though, that I have tried $CBS_DROPDOWN and that makes no change. Infact, no styles are making any changes to my dropdown box. I have ensured that I have attached the correct include file (ComboConstants.au3) and I get no errors.

I recently installed the most recent release of AutoIT, and I am unsure as to whether this is when the problem started (I rarely use combo boxes) but I am quite sure that it worked properly in one of my older scripts.

Can anybody help?

Thanks.

I used this BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_COMBO, $CBS_DISABLENOSCROLL) as the style of a combo in a project I was working on. It disabled the edit functioning of the combo, but didn't disable the control itself. I can't remember where I found out about this, because the description for that style doesn't say anything about it disabling the control that way.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Mikeman27294,

You need to use the $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style - like this: :)

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

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

$hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 200, 20, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "One|Two|Three|Four|Five")

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

I agree the description in the Help file is not the best - but that is how MicroSoft describe it! ;)
