[SOLVED] - _GUICtrlComboBoxEx unable to retrieve "when pressed"

[marko001 2]

Hi all,

I used to work with guictrlcreatecombo, but since I couldn't find a way to erase content I decided to move to EX UDF.

I have 3 combos I need to manage:

$combo1 = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create($Form1,"",8,48,145,100)
$addhouse = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add/Edit House(s)", 11, 80, 139, 25)
$Combo2 = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create($Form1,"", 160, 48, 145, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add Room", 160, 80, 67, 25)
$Combo3 = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create($Form1,"", 312, 48, 145, 25)

Combo contents are read from a .txt file:

While 1 Local $line = FileReadLine($file) If @error = -1 Then $begin = 1 Return $var EndIf If Not FileExists($rooms_dir & $line & ".rooms.txt") Then _FileCreate($rooms_dir & $line & ".rooms.txt") _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_AddString($combo1,$line) $var = 1WEnd

Hi,

And the question is?

unable to retrieve "when pressed" < Can you be more specific ?

Br, FireFox.

You can use the _GUICtrlComboBox_Functions with GUICtrlCreateCombo!

Local $iCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo(....
_GUICtrlComboBox_ResetContent($iCombo)

Wait, I had internet connection problem so I lost part of the message.

Hi all

I used to work with guictrlcreatecombo, but since I couldn&#39;t find a way to erase content I decided to move to EX UDF.

I have 3 combos I need to manage:

$;combo1 = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create($Form1,"",8,48,145,100)
$addhouse = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add/Edit House(s)", 11, 80, 139, 25)
$Combo2 = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create($Form1,"", 160, 48, 145, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add Room", 160, 80, 67, 25)
$Combo3 = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create($Form1,"", 312, 48, 145, 25)

Combo contents are read from a .txt file:

While 1
Local $line = FileReadLine($file)
If @error = -1 Then
    $begin = 1
    Return $var
EndIf
If Not FileExists($rooms_dir & $line & ".rooms.txt") Then _FileCreate($rooms_dir & $line & ".rooms.txt")
_GUICtrlComboBoxEx_AddString($combo1,$line)
$var = 1
WEnd

1st question: is there a way to GUIDISABLE $combo2? I mean I need it to be unusable unless $combo1 has values inside.

Then I need, as I did with simple combobox, to manage further activities when combobox is clicked and a value is selected.

Im standard ways I used:

Case $Combo1
If _checkitemsinroom($rooms_dir & GUICtrlRead($Combo1) & ".rooms.txt") = 0 Then
    ConsoleWrite(GUICtrlRead($Combo1) & ".rooms.txt" & " - VUOTO" & @CRLF)
    GUICtrlSetState($Combo2, $GUI_DISABLE)
    GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, "None")
Else
    GUICtrlSetState($Combo2, $gui_enable)
EndIf

but now it doesn't work.

I tried also with WM_NOTIFY

expandcollapse popup

Func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
#forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam
Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $iCode, $tNMHDR, $tInfo
$tNMHDR = DllStructCreate($tagNMHDR, $ilParam)
$hWndFrom = HWnd(DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "hWndFrom"))
$iIDFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "IDFrom")
$iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "Code")
Switch $hWndFrom
Case $combo1
Switch $iCode
    Case $CBEN_BEGINEDIT ; Sent when the user activates the drop-down list or clicks in the control's edit box.
     _DebugPrint("$CBEN_BEGINEDIT" & @LF & "--> hWndFrom:" & @TAB & $hWndFrom & @LF & _

     Return 0

switch $readComboC
    case $combo2
    Case $combo3
EndSwitch

EndSwitch
Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc ;==>WM_NOTIFY

But didn't find a way.

How can it be done?

Thanks and best regards,

_GUICtrlComboBox not _GUICtrlComboBoxEx can be used with native AutoIt controls.

[marko001 2]

I changed to it, but how can I

Case $combo1
 ...
 ....

?

I see that it works with standard combo not with it. I need the next action to be performed when a value in the 1st combo has been selected.

Thanks mate,

Marco

A simple example :

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#region GUI
Global $GUI, $coToto1

$GUI = GUICreate("MyGUI")

$coToto1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10)
GUICtrlSetData($coToto1, "val1|val2|val3")

GUISetState()
#endregion

While 1
$iMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $iMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
_Exit()
Case $coToto1
_toto1()
EndSwitch

Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func _toto1()
Switch GUICtrlRead($coToto1)
Case "val1"
ConsoleWrite("got it!" & @CrLf)
EndSwitch
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
Exit
EndFunc

You can do it in many other ways.

No problem

The most efficient way is to put [sOLVED] in the topic title.
