ComboBox1 to ComboBox2

[kkelley]

I am currently having a problem with creating a more dynamic style of GUI.  I have two items in a ComboBox if selected I want to turn the other ComboBox off, or display *Not Needed*.  I only know how to put this logic into the button click that I have.  Is there some way to do a $GUI_HIDE or something? thanks for your help.

Yes, you can use GuiCtrlSetState to $GUI_HIDE if an item is selected. If you would post the code you have, so we're not reinventing the wheel for you, we can assist.

The code is over 2000 lines but I will include a short version you can look at and maybe we can get somewhere.

So for reference $serverCombo and $userCombo do have items in there, removed for privacy

There are a couple of ways you could go about it. Something like this using OnEvent would be one:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
AutoItSetOption("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

GUICreate("Test", 300, 300)
$cmbo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Please select an item", 10, 10, 130, 30)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Do nothing|Check|Test|Test2", "Please select an item")
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_disable")
$cmbo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Please select an item", 160, 10, 130, 30)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

 While 1
     Sleep(10)
  WEnd

GUIDelete()


Func _disable()
    Switch GUICtrlRead($cmbo1)
        Case "Do nothing"
            GUICtrlSetData($cmbo2, "Do nothing selected")
        Case "Check"
            GUICtrlSetState($cmbo2, $GUI_HIDE)
            Sleep(500)
            GUICtrlSetState($cmbo2, $GUI_SHOW)
        Case "Test"
            GUICtrlSetData($cmbo2, "Not needed")
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

I have another script floating around that shows a cleaner method, if I can find it I will post.
