ComboBox Item Values

[MadaraUchiha]

Yo guyz,

I have a ComboBox on my Form with some Items in it.

Now, how can I add values to the items index?

So if i select questionicon, and hit a button it displays the value I like to add to the selected ComboBox Item?

So I want to set:

No Icon: 0

Error Icon 23434

Question Icon 283

Warning icon: 9876

Information Icon: 4567

Use _GUICtrlComboBox_AddString

example:

#include <GuiComboBox.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 322, 196, 192, 124)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Form1Close")
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Combo1", 32, 24, 225, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(100)
    for $x = 0 to 10
        _GUICtrlComboBox_AddString($Combo1,"Extra Line Item# " & $x)
        msgbox(1,"ADDED ITEM","Added Item# " & $x)
    Next
WEnd

Func Form1Close()
    Exit
EndFunc

... uh thats not what I was searching for.

Thats just how to add Strings to a ComboBox... What I was looking for, is:

Giving every Item in my ComboBox a Specific Value.

MadaraUchiha,

Use a 2D array to hold the items and their associated values. Then when you read the combo selection it is easy to relate it to the relevant value.

or write a getter

$iconValue = getIconValue(GuiCtrlRead($comboName))


Func getIconValue($string)
    Switch $string
        Case "No Icon"
            Return 0
        Case "Error Icon"
            Return 23434
        Case "Question Icon"
            Return 283
        Case "Warning Icon"
            Return 9876
        Case "Information Icon"
            Return 4567
    EndSwitch
EndFunc
