Why Can't I get the selected string in a combo box?!?

[Silverlode 0]

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.
