Help with GUICtrlCreateCombo


Recommended Posts

Hope anyone can help me with this. I am trying to create a GUICtrlCreateCombobox in which I am trying to pull the items list from another html page having content in a form of drop down (combobox). I am stuck here and no clue how to achieve this. Could you please help me? Thanks.

Hey John,

First, please accept my apologies as I am just learning the navigation in Forum and I did not get any notification on the Message icon for the last post. As I myself searched Help and online scripts, I didn't check the reply. Honestly, I never thought people will respond to my queries. Going forward I'll keep an eye on my posts and reply them with courtesy. Please accept my apologies. Thanks John.

Thanks CHOVIE but I think I should be more clear with my query. I have a HTML page where I have a dropdown menu with few items. Now I am trying to write code with autoit which can retrieve those items from that dropdown menu and show me as Autoit GUI.

I tried the below code available in help section:

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
 
    GUISetState()
 
    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
 
        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd
 
Though the output is what I wished, instead of specifying "item2|item3" in the code, it should retrieve the items from that 3rd party HTML page's dropdown menu.
 
$oForm1 = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE1, "Create")
$oQuery6 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm1, "bug_severity")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect ($oQuery6, "normal", 1, "byText")
 
In the above code, it selects the item with the text "Normal" but I want a prompt from Autoit with all the items available and let me select the item manually.
 
I tried to explain my problem as much as I can but please let me know if you need more information. Somehow, I am stuck at this point to finish my project. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi sammy1983,
 
I recently also pulled some HTML pages, parsed out data, and put it in a menu (mine was a ListBox).  I'm putting the code here as a sample for you.  I don't have enough time right now to tailor an example for you, but you should be able to figure it out from mine.  Word of warning - I used StringRegExp a lot, which can be really confusing to learn.  Don't worry too much about it, unless you find you want to use that function too.

Hi sammy1983,

 

I recently also pulled some HTML pages, parsed out data, and put it in a menu (mine was a ListBox).  I'm putting the code here as a sample for you.  I don't have enough time right now to tailor an example for you, but you should be able to figure it out from mine.  Word of warning - I used StringRegExp a lot, which can be really confusing to learn.  Don't worry too much about it, unless you find you want to use that function too.
