Hello, SerLanceloth.

You are switching the GUICtrlRead($Combo1), you should not do that because it would just use the switch and case everytime the application loops.

Instead, switch the object $Combo1 and use the Switch and Case method inside it. This way, it will execute only when the value on the ComboBox is clicked.

This is working fine, for example.
