Dropdown menu internet explorer

[XenonTech]

Hi I'm using the IE bot stuff to automate tasks on my website such as a bot that sends users a message when they cuss in chatroom.

Everything works but when I go to send a message it requires I select a dropdown menu to click "Private message".

How do I select options in a dropdown menu automatically in IE?

Maybe _IEFormElementOptionSelect -> http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_IEFormElementOptionSelect.htm

I am not understanding how it works. This is my HTML, how would I make it select private?

<select name="messageselectbox" id="messageselect" tabindex="1" class="form-select">
    <option value="0">select option</option>
    <option value="1">private</option>
    <option value="2">public</option>
</select>

Something like this?

_IEFormElementOptionSelect("messageselectbox", 1, 1, "byIndex")
