Get file path from selected item in a combo box? *HELP NEEDED*

[doestergaard]

I am having some hickups with getting the full file path from a wim file, which has been populated into a combo box $select_os the following way:

global $wim_path = "z:\images\"
local $wim_list = _filelistToArray($wim_path, "*.wim")

_arraysort($wim_list, 0, 1)

for $wim_file = 1 to ubound($wim_list) -1

   $objwim.source = "z:\images\" & $wim_list[$wim_file]
   $objwim.imageindex = 1
   $objwim.getimageinfo
   guictrlsetdata($select_os, $objwim.imagename)

next

$objwim = 0

When you afterwards select the image file you want, how do i get the full path to the image file being selected from the combo box?

Kinda the same process as above but reversed

 

Thank you in advance!

Just GuiCtrlRead the ID of the combo control. I see no reason to reverse anything.

I can't, it just gives me a 0?

A return of 0 is failure. A wild guess is that you are deleting the control or the whole gui before using GuiCtrlRead as that would cause failure and return 0.

Very basic example of reading a path from a combo with GuiCtrlRead

GUICreate('test')
$select_os = GUICtrlCreateCombo(@ComSpec, 5, 5)
GUISetState()
$result = GUICtrlRead($select_os)
MsgBox(0, 'result', $result)

Outputs

---------------------------
result
---------------------------
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Seems fine. So check and make sure GuiCtrlRead reads the control while it exists.
