tweakster2010 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hello anyone who has a basic way to do this without recoding a lot of what I currently have. Currently I have a Gui set to have a combox and in the combox is a serious of programs and links it launches to make a universal spot for access relating to my job function. In turn I noticed when I scroll or use the arrow keys while in the Combobox it starts launching each option. Ideally I want it only to launch if I click the drop down list and chose the option. I have searched throughout and I found some information but I do not think its exactly what I am trying to accomplish and I have no idea how to accomplish exactly that. I use Cases currently to access the combobox options being selected. If code would be preferred but I do not have any code currently guided to my end goal if that makes sense. Func Program() $hGUI = GUICreate("Logged in as: " & ("info removed ") & StringUpper(GuiCtrlRead($Username)), 300,30) $Runasprogs = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 5, 5, 275, 20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "|Test1|Test2|Close", "") While 1 Switch GuiGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Runasprogs Switch GuiCtrlRead($Runasprogs) Case "Test1" ShellExecute("URl of Test") If @error = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "An Error has occurred, @extended = " & @extended) Case "Test2" ShellExecute("URl of Test") If @error = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "An Error has occurred, @extended = " & @extended) Case "Close" Exit EndSwitch EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc This is a Lowgrade version of what I currently have with the information stripped out (500 lines of code currently). Any help is totally appreciated or a point in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution BrewManNH Posted January 15, 2015 Solution Share Posted January 15, 2015 Don't use the combobox as a trigger to read from it, use a separate button to trigger the function. #include <GUIConstants.au3> Func Program() $hGUI = GUICreate("Logged in as: " & ("info removed ") & StringUpper(GUICtrlRead($Username)), 300, 30) $Runasprogs = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 5, 5, 275, 20) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "|Test1|Test2|Close", "") Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Execute ", 300, 5) ; <<<<<<<<<<< GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $idButton ; <<<<<<<<<<< Switch GUICtrlRead($Runasprogs) Case "Test1" ShellExecute("URl of Test") If @error = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "An Error has occurred, @extended = " & @extended) Case "Test2" ShellExecute("URl of Test") If @error = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "An Error has occurred, @extended = " & @extended) Case "Close" Exit EndSwitch EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc ;==>Program If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

tweakster2010 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 That is what I was looking for thanks, I think my script just got too long and I overlooked a few things. The CtrlSet Data also tried to write the data in the box and I needed to correct that to the $Runasprogs to fix. Appreciate the speedy response too.
