GuiCtrlCreateCombo(); make it so "text" doesn't show up in list?

[Sven]

When I set up a control like

GUICtrlCreateCombo("Press Here to Continue", 5, 5, 250, 25, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_COMBO , $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST))

 

"Press Here to Continue" also shows up in the list to be selected when I click the Combo. How can I prevent that? How can I make it so that when the Combo is clicked all my other entries show up as normally but only "Press Here to Continue" doesn't?Additionally, "Press Here to Continue" should only return on top of the Combo when the user closes the Combo without having made a selection.

Any ideas?

Sven,

You need a "CueBanner" - like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>
#include <GuiComboBox.au3>

$hGui = GUICreate("", 500, 500)

$cCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 200, 20, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_COMBO, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST))
GUICtrlSetData($cCombo, "Line 1|Line 2|Line 3|Line 4|Line 5")
_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCueBanner($cCombo, "Not a selection")

$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 100, 80, 30)
GUICtrlSetState($cButton, $GUI_FOCUS)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Awesome. Thanks a lot!
