Combobox to run batch files

[Jaydrury1992]

Basically what I am tring to do is to create a simple GUI for users to connect remote sites via UltraVNC, the problem is to automate the connection and login through UltaVNC it uses cmd commands which I use batch files for. My question is can a combobox via Koda call batch files or can cmd commands be run through Autoit and incorporated into the combobox?

#include <Constants.au3>
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c abcd","",'',$STDERR_CHILD)
While 1
    $line = StderrRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    If Not ($line='') Then MsgBox(0, "STDERROUT read:", $line)
Wend

This will also help

Another example

#include <Constants.au3>

Local $nPID = Run("sort.exe", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDIN_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
;Write Some Thing
StdinWrite($nPID, "Hello There")
;Invalidate the Stream for further writing
StdinWrite($nPID)

; Read from child's STDOUT and show
Local $data
While True
    $data &= STDOutRead($nPID)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    Sleep(25)
WEnd
MsgBox(0, "Debug", $data)

;Or This

;In this case the Scite window is treated as the STDOUT [for more help regarding this look here

If you need to run batch files, which you probably don't really need because AutoIt can do anything the batch file is doing, you can use the value read from the combobox to start a Run command. Look at GUICtrlRead for how to get the text from a combobox, and the Select or Switch commands to determine which batch file to run.

Thank you, Both posters have helped me resolve the issue. Looks like I need to do a bit more research before asking questions.

Just look in the help file under Run and RunWait for more examples.
