Venix Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hello, i am still fairly new to AutoIt and i need help using the _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetCurSel function, the reason i want to use this function is to return the numeric value of the currently selected item in a combo box. I am not sure if i am using the wrong function to achieve this but even after reading the help file i cant figure out what is wrong with my code. At the moment the value is always being returned as 3 no matter what is selected. Heres My Code, Please let me know what i am doing wrong . ;Currently not functioning, purely for testing reasons. #include <GuiComboBoxEx.au3> #include <GuiComboBox.au3> #include <Constants.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <ComboConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GUIListBox.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("Test", 226, 278, 192, 124) $Combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 8, 8, 209, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL)) $Data = GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Derp|Herp|Ferp|Kerp|Pizza") $List1 = GUICtrlCreateList("", 8, 32, 209, 201) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 8, 240, 209, 33) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetCurSel($Combo) msgbox(0, "Test", $Combo) EndSwitch WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venix Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Modified part of the code seen a possible error but now just returns as 0.

Venix Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thank you works perfectly I am suprised that all it wanted me to do was call a variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I was just taking a relook at this code, and if you had used _GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel($Combo) instead of _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetCurSel($Combo) it would have worked as well and you wouldn't have needed to use GUICtrlGetHandle with $Combo.Unless you actually need to use the _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_* functions, there's no need to use them as I believe the non-Ex combobox UDF has all the same functions. The _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_* functions should only need to be used when using a ComboBoxEx type of combobox, which is, basically, an enhanced type of ComboBox. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

guinness Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 _GUICtrlComboBoxEx is one of those that doesn't convert the controlID to a handle if a controlid is in fact passed and for good reason too, since _GUICtrlComboBoxEx should ideally be used with a combobox created with _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create.

xeroTechnologiesLLC Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Is there a way to use _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetCurSel mid switch/case statement for the sake of fullfilling an action when an item in the comboBox_EX is selected? Such as: While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $readComboC = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetCurSel($Combo1) switch $readComboC case 1 ; clear the list before loading the macro list _GUICtrlListBox_ResetContent($hListBox) ; Add strings _GUICtrlListBox_BeginUpdate($hListBox) _GUICtrlListBox_AddString($hListBox, "New") For $iI = 1 To $listArray[0][0] _GUICtrlListBox_AddString($hListBox, $listArray[$iI][1]) Next _GUICtrlListBox_EndUpdate($hListBox) case 2 ; clear the list before loading the macro list _GUICtrlListBox_ResetContent($hListBox) MsgBox(0x40000, "", "fail") EndSwitch EndSwitch So far this doesn't work, but I'm just wondering if I am doing it wrong based on what has been noted in this thread thus far.

BrewManNH Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 You're using the Switch case wrong, $nMsg is going to equal the control that is being activated, your case statement will never match because you're comparing the control with its contents. Your Case statement should read something like this: Case $Combo1 $readcomboc = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetCurSel($Combo1) switch $readComboC 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.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

xeroTechnologiesLLC Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah as soon as I posted it it hit me..started testing some code and came up with this snippet from the total test program which I will post on the original thread I had, but someone may find this tidbit useful: expandcollapse popupWhile 1 $comboText = ControlGetText($hMain, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]") if $comboText <> $placeholder Then $placeholder = $comboText Switch $comboText case "Macro 1" $macro1Array = "" $macro1Array = IniReadSection("testMacro1.ini", "itemlist") ; clear the list before loading the macro list _GUICtrlListBox_ResetContent($hListBox) ; Add strings _GUICtrlListBox_BeginUpdate($hListBox) _GUICtrlListBox_AddString($hListBox, "New") For $iI = 1 To $macro1Array[0][0] _GUICtrlListBox_AddString($hListBox, $macro1Array[$iI][1]) Next _GUICtrlListBox_EndUpdate($hListBox) case "Macro 2" $macro2Array = "" $macro2Array = IniReadSection("testMacro2.ini", "itemlist") ; clear the list before loading the macro list _GUICtrlListBox_ResetContent($hListBox) ; Add strings _GUICtrlListBox_BeginUpdate($hListBox) _GUICtrlListBox_AddString($hListBox, "New") For $iI = 1 To $macro2Array[0][0] _GUICtrlListBox_AddString($hListBox, $macro2Array[$iI][1]) Next _GUICtrlListBox_EndUpdate($hListBox) case "New" ; clear the list before loading the macro list _GUICtrlListBox_ResetContent($hListBox) MsgBox(0x40000, "", "Create a new macro...")
