roofninja Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 This is a cutout of some code that works but I don't want the brackets "[]" around the name ether/or listed in the Combo Box or when the Data is displayed/or used.

BrewManNH Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 The only time the $fBrackets parameter is used is when you're using it with $DDL_DRIVES, you'll probably have to create your own combo update routine to avoid getting those brackets around the names.

BrewManNH Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 He was referring to the source code for the function in the GUICombBox.au3 file. Although, that probably won't help you much as it's using a pretty convoluted work-around to get rid of the brackets for the $DDL_DRIVES command that might be hard for a newcomer to understand right away.

roofninja Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 This is still a work-in-progress but I did add an if statement to remove the brackets. I am not good with the StringRegExp syntax. It doesn't work.

BrewManNH Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 If all you're doing is getting the user folders and putting them into a combobox here's a snippet of code I made that should help with that. It will list all the users under XP and above, without listing the Administrator account or any of the other default user accounts like All Users, Default User, etc. expandcollapse popupIf @OSVersion == "WIN_7" Or @OSVersion == "WIN_VISTA" Or @OSVersion = "WIN_2008" Then $NewOS = True Else $NewOS = False EndIf If Not $NewOS Then $UserList = _FileListToArray("C:Documents and Settings", "*.*", 2) For $I = 1 To $UserList[0] ReDim $aUserList[$X + 1] Select Case $UserList[$I] = "All Users" Case $UserList[$I] = "Default User" Case $UserList[$I] = "NetworkService" Case $UserList[$I] = "LocalService" Case $UserList[$I] = "Administrator" Case Else $aUserList[$X] = $UserList[$I] $X += 1 EndSelect Next Else $UserList = _FileListToArray("C:Users", "*.*", 2) For $I = 1 To $UserList[0] ReDim $aUserList[$X + 1] Select Case $UserList[$I] = "All Users" Case $UserList[$I] = "Default" Case $UserList[$I] = "Default User" Case $UserList[$I] = "Public" Case Else $aUserList[$X] = $UserList[$I] $X += 1 EndSelect Next EndIf $sUserList = _ArrayToString($aUserList, "|") ; to add this list to a combo box Global $UserName = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 40, 130, 100) GUICtrlSetData(-1, $sUserList) If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

roofninja Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 BrewManNH, Thanks for the snippet, but I was hoping someone had a fix that was more in line with what I started with. It looks like I will need to do some more coding when I thought that I found a shortcut. RUN . . . Slide . . . TAG . . . Your out . . . PAINTBALL !!!

BrewManNH Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Why are you so dead set to use a function that doesn't do what you want it to do? It would be far easier to write your own routine to get the information from a directory and put it into a combobox than trying to rewrite one that doesn't work right for the results you want.

roofninja Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I can be very single minded at times and don't want to deviate from it. It's character flaw that I have. Leighann says that it drives her crazy. It is Like, if I start something, it bothers me that I can't finish it. Especially on the same day. I have stayed up for 16 hours trying to finish something before I realize that I have to go to work the next day. That is why, at times, I don't want to ask for help and when I don't get what I am trying to do, it frustrates me to no end. I can't help it. My father and grandfather are the same way. Sorry.
