ShaunWW Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hi, Can anyone offer advice on how to select a specific line item from a drop down list box. Currently I can access the list box and I use the arrow down function to the end of the list followed by two arrow up commands. This selects the correct line item. However, I cannot be assured that the line item required will always be 2 up from the bottom. I know the text for the item is "Recall" from a list of say "Back", "Email", "Recall", "Letter" and "Ignore". Look forward to any help. Kindest regards, Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subz Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Is this third party software? Or an Autoit script? If its third party you could look at the _GuiCtrlListBox_* functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunWW Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hi Subz. I am attempting to interact with third party software. Didn't know which autoIT function I could use.I'll give your suggestion a go. thanks Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Sounds like a ComboBox control. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

ShaunWW Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yes it is a combo box. Initially blank but has five or so items in when clicked with mouse. Can't seam to use the _GUICtrllist or combo function to do anything with it. Have tried to find the text string, select the text string etc to no avail. Being a newbie to this I'm not surprised. I'll keep on looking for solution. Thanks Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Open the AU3Info tool and let us know if you can see the control information in there. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
