I'm just tying to get it going first#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Local $APRINTERS = IniReadSection("Printers.ini", "PRINTERS") Local $SPRINTERS = "" For $I = 1 To $APRINTERS[0][0] $SPRINTERS &= "|" & $APRINTERS[$I][0] Next GUICreate("My GUI combo") $Button = GUICtrlCreateButton('PrinterPath', 10, 40, 100, 100) If @error Then MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occurred, probably no INI file.") $combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 100, 40) GUICtrlSetData(-1, $SPRINTERS) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $Button For $I = 1 To $APRINTERS[$I][1] Next MsgBox(0, '', $APRINTERS[$I][1]) EndSwitch WEnd Edited November 4, 2015 by Elephant007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Where's your script? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

BrewManNH Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Here's one way to do it.#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Global $sIniFile = "Printers.ini" Global $APRINTERS = IniReadSection($sIniFile, "PRINTERS") If @error Then MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occurred, probably no INI file.") ; Moved this line to where it should have been Global $SPRINTERS = "" For $I = 1 To $APRINTERS[0][0] $SPRINTERS &= "|" & $APRINTERS[$I][0] Next GUICreate("My GUI combo") $Button = GUICtrlCreateButton('PrinterPath', 10, 40, 100, 100) $combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 100, 40) GUICtrlSetData(-1, $SPRINTERS) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $Button MsgBox(0, '', IniRead($sIniFile, "Printers", GUICtrlRead($combo), "Error")) EndSwitch WEndAsk if you have any questions.

Elephant007 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 That worked perfect, thank youThe only question I have is, how does clicking the button know how to read and display the printer path? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The GUICtrlRead reads the contents of the combobox, the IniRead takes that text and uses it as the key to read from in the INI file.
