return variable index

Hi guys,

I am a fairly new poster and is probably over thinking this. I have 4 arrays, 3 input box and and 1 combo box. The first array is read into the list of the combo box. 

When the first item in combo box 1 is selected, each of the 3 text box is populated accordingly with the value from index 1 of the different arrays. When the second item in the combo box is selected, it will populate the text boxes with index 2 of the arrays. My question is, how can I do this without hardcoding in the array index number? I have thought about setting a variable to "indexof" array but I was not able to find such thing on autoit.

Case $combo_box
    if GUICtrlRead($combo_box) = $array1[0] Then
        GUICtrlSetData($inputbox1,$array2[0])
        GUICtrlSetData($inputbox2,$array3[0])
        GUICtrlSetData($inputbox3,$array4[0])


    ElseIf  GUICtrlRead($combo_box) = $array1[1] Then
        GUICtrlSetData($inputbox1,$array2[1])
        GUICtrlSetData($inputbox2,$array3[1])
        GUICtrlSetData($inputbox3,$array4[1])
    Else
        GUICtrlSetData($inputbox1,$array2[2])
        GUICtrlSetData($inputbox2,$array3[2])
        GUICtrlSetData($inputbox3,$array4[2])
EndIf

autohit,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

I would just search the first array for a match like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Global $array1[] = ["A1", "B1", "C1"]
Global $array2[] = ["A2", "B2", "C2"]
Global $array3[] = ["A3", "B3", "C3"]
Global $array4[] = ["A4", "B4", "C4"]

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$combo_box = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 200, 20)
GUICtrlSetData($combo_box, _ArrayToString($array1))

$inputbox1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 200, 200, 20)
$inputbox2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 250, 200, 20)
$inputbox3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 300, 200, 20)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $combo_box
            $iIndex = _ArraySearch($array1, GUICtrlRead($combo_box))
            GUICtrlSetData($inputbox1, $array2[$iIndex])
            GUICtrlSetData($inputbox2, $array3[$iIndex])
            GUICtrlSetData($inputbox3, $array4[$iIndex])
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Please ask if you have any questions.

thank you so much Melba23. This works but let me see if I understand this correctly.

Whenever the $combo_box is clicked (triggered in an event), _ArraySearch searches for the string selected and return it's state (int). In this case, the state is an index which is use to populate the other text boxes? Let me know if I'm understanding this wrong.

autohit,

_ArraySearch searches in the array you use to populate the combo and returns the index of the string found - that index is then used to populate the inputs from their arrays because you have the indexes linked.
