GUICtrlCreateCombo - force selection of list

[jdelaney]

I'd like to create a Combo that forces a user to select one of the list items...would anyone know the style param needed to do that?

Currently, the standard options, allow a user to type in any value.

Thanks...here is the sample from autoit helpfile:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Example()
Func Example()
Local $msg
GUICreate("My GUI combo") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
GUICtrlCreateCombo("item1", 10, 10) ; create first item
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "item2|item3", "item3") ; add other item snd set a new default
GUICtrlCreateCombo("item2", 10, 50) ; create first item
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "item2|item3", "item3") ; add other item snd set a new default
GUISetState()
; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd
EndFunc ;==>Example

jdelaney,

You need the $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style for that - and I know the description in the Help file is pretty useless, but that is the offical MS definition.

Do not forget you will need to define all the other styles you need as well - see the Setting Styles tutorial in the Wiki to understand why.
