[nishantp]

Hi All,

Just want to know how we can click on Combo Box Item through Auto It..

Scenario - When an Item is clicked in ComboBox1, values are displayed in ComboBox2 based on item clicked in ComboBox1.

Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to the autoit forum

Try this :

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIComboBox.au3>

Local Const $hGUI = GUICreate("MyGUI")

Global Const $coMyCombo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 20, 20, 200, 20, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
GUICtrlSetData($coMyCombo1, "toto|tata|titi")

Global Const $coMyCombo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 20, 50, 200, 20, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
Global Const $hMyCombo2 = GUICtrlGetHandle($coMyCombo2)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND")
GUISetState()

While GUIGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

GUIDelete($hGUI)

Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Local Const $iIDFrom = BitAND($wParam, 0xFFFF) ; Low Word
    Local Const $iCode = BitShift($wParam, 16) ; Hi Word

    Switch $iIDFrom
        Case $coMyCombo1
            Switch $iCode
                Case $CBN_CLOSEUP
                    Local Const $sCombo1Data = GUICtrlRead($coMyCombo1)

                    _GUICtrlComboBox_ResetContent($hMyCombo2)
                    GUICtrlSetData($coMyCombo2, "selected: " & $sCombo1Data)
                    _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hMyCombo2, 0)
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch

    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc   ;==>WM_COMMAND

I recommend you to read the help file for each function if you are beginning in autoit.

If you have any question feel free to ask

ComboBox values are pre-populated. We don't need to create ComboBox.

Through AutoIt I need to select an item from ComboBox1, based on which values gets displayed in ComboBox2.

ComboBoxes are on another application? See here that were NOT enough clear.

Take a look at the functions Control*

Yep, ComboBoxes are on another application.

I will be more clear since you seem to have skipped my reference to the useful functions.

Included in the AutoIt package you have a tool named AutoIt3Info, if you have the SciTE4AutoIt package then you can launch it in SciTE by the hotkey Ctrl+F6.

With that tool you will be able (or not) to retrieve some informations on the external app controls.

Since you are dealing with a combobox, use the _GUICtrlComboBox functions.

#include <GUIComboBox.au3>

ControlGetText( ;fill with the infos from the tool for the 1st combobox ctrl

;process the text to choose the 2nd combobox item

$hCombo2 = ControlGetHandle( ;fill with the infos from the tool

_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hCombo2, ;set the index for the 2nd combobox ctrl

Consider below scenario -

Combobox 1 items - A | B

Combobox 2 items(if A is selected from combobox 1) - P | Q | R

Combobox 2 items(if B is selected from combobox 1) - W | X | Y | Z

How do we write code such that -

selecting 'A' from combobox 1 will populate list 'P | Q | R' in combobox 2

And

selecting 'B' from combobox 1 will populate list 'W | X | Y | Z' in combobox 2

Consider below scenario:

Read my previous post, test the functions provided and play with it.

Afterwards if you have any problem I will be able to help you, I'm not going to do the whole thing for you otherwise you will keep creating topics without learning anything.

nishantp,

You need to be clear when posting a question, otherwise FireFox or someone else are wasting their time and getting no where with helping you.
