Read combo when clicked

[nikosliapis]

Hello everybody

I'm working on a project and i ask if it possible to read the content of a combo box when it is clicked, not when the mouse

hovers on the options.

In the following example you'll see in the information window that the value of the combo changes as the mouse hovers over the combos data. What i want is to change when an option is clicked.

Is that possible ?

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
;include
$Form = GUICreate("form", 500, 462, 102, 124) ; Create the main window
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("exit", 300, 400, 50,25)
$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo ("aaa", 250, 200, 100, 25)
GUICtrlSetData (-1, "bbb|ccc")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
while 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
  Exit
ElseIf $msg = $button Then
  Exit
EndIf
ConsoleWrite(GUICtrlRead($combo) & @LF)
WEnd

Thanks in advance

nikosliapis,

Just look for the combo selection event:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

$Form = GUICreate("form", 500, 462, 102, 124) ; Create the main window
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("exit", 300, 400, 50, 25)
$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("aaa", 250, 200, 100, 25)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "bbb|ccc")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $button
            Exit
        Case $combo
            ConsoleWrite(GUICtrlRead($combo) & @LF)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

All clear?

So simple !!!!

I thought only buttons and menu objects could go there.

Thanks very much

yea... ok... Right... its a data control which means you can assign a function for it... uhhhhh this might sound sarcastic, but its supposed to be common logic...

ac1dm4nner,

Is there a point to that post or is this just more of your inconsequential rambling?
