Select from combobox

[JakubKonvalina]

Hi I try select option from combobox. I tried many of recomended ways but no one of them works.

List of ways I try:

;$hControl = ControlGetHandle("[TITLE:Aplikace]", "", "[NAME:maritalStatusComboBox]")
;ControlCommand("[TITLE:Aplikace]","",$hControl,"SelectString", "Partner")

;$hWindow = WinGetHandle("[TITLE:Aplikace]")
;$hControl = ControlGetHandle($hWindow, "", "[NAME:maritalStatusComboBox]")
;ControlCommand($hWindow, "", $hControl, "SelectString", "Partner") ; Change this

;ControlCommand("[TITLE:Aplikace]","","[NAME:vehicleOwnerYesRadioButton]","Check")
;ControlGetHandle("[TITLE:Aplikace]", "", "[NAME:maritalStatusComboBox]")
;ControlCommand("[TITLE:Aplikace]", "", "[NAME:maritalStatusComboBox]", "ShowDropDown", "")
;ControlCommand("[TITLE:Aplikace]", "", "[NAME:maritalStatusComboBox]", "SelectString", 'Partner')
;ControlCommand("[TITLE:Aplikace]", "", "[NAME:maritalStatusComboBox]", "SetCurrentSelection", 2)

;ControlCommand('[CLASS:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.378734a]','','[CLASS:WindowsForms10.COMBOBOX.app.0.378734a;INSTANCE:5]',"SetCurrentSelection", 4)


;ControlCommand("[TITLE:Aplikace]", "", "[NAME:employmentStatusComboBox]", "ShowDropDown", "")
;ControlSend("[TITLE:Aplikace]", "", "[NAME:employmentStatusComboBox]", "DP")
;sleep(1500)
;guictrlsetdata("[NAME:employmentStatusComboBox]", "DPP")

 _GUICtrlComboBox_SelectString("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.COMBOBOX.app.0.378734a;INSTANCE:8]", "DPP")

Do you anybody have suggestion what is wrong?

I need fill form in app by data from excel. I have functional textbox and radio button filling but combo still resists. 
Thanks

Use the Excel UDFs. This is a Windows Forms, you won't be able to talk to it like Win32 controls. @water has written a lot of Excel and Outlooks stuff

Start small. Use wingethandle and verify you get the proper handle. Then use controlgethandle and verify you can find the combo, first. Pass those handles directly to the other functions to manipulate the control. Also add logging so you can give us something concrete, else we can only guess what you are seeing. Throw in the spy tool output for the control, also.

Hi thanks for your advice.

@Earthshine - combo is in windows  app. Do I understand correctly that your advice is directed to solve problem with combo in excel?

@jdelaney - I guess I get correct handle with combobox, because dropdown for it works correct. Am I right?
What exactly do you mean by logging? I can't find log function in AutoIt itself.

I can make log fnc myself, but actualy only thing what  I want from script is run app and select option from combo.

my point is autoit can't manipulate WinForms like it can Win32 stuff. well, you can, but you need to do it differently
