I've tried ControlCommand, _GuiCtrlComboBox_GetCurrentSel, and am now trying GuiCtrlRead.  All return the same thing, "0".  I have a combo box With a list of time periods and I want to make sure the correct one is selected.

Local $hComboBox01 = ControlGetHandle("Time Perionds", "", "[NAME:comboBox_Global_LastHistoricalPeriod]")
$rtn01 = GUICtrlRead($hComboBox01)
MsgBox(0, "", $rtn01)

What's wrong here?

Thanks for any help.

GUICtrlRead will only work with AutoIt controls.  _GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel only retrieves the selected index, and not the text. _GUICtrlComboBox_GetEditText might get the information you need though.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
