Combo box option values vs display values

[cyanidemonkey]

Is there a way I can create a dropdown with a different value to display to the one sent to other code? (like in HTML)

See code below to see what I'm doing at the moment, which works, I was just wondering if there might be a quicker way to do it.

GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Display Every...", 480,60,100,20)
        $PromoteTime = GUICtrlCreateCombo ("", 480,80,80,40)
        GUICtrlSetData(-1,"1 Minute|5 Minutes|10 Minutes|15 Minutes|20 Minutes|25 Minutes|30 Minutes|35 Minutes|40 Minutes|45 Minutes|50 Minutes|55 Minutes|60 Minutes", $gPromoteTime)

;Then using below to convert to milliseconds

If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "1 Minute" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 60000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "5 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 300000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "10 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 600000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "15 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 900000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "20 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 1200000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "25 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 1500000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "30 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 1800000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "35 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 2100000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "40 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 2400000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "45 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 2700000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "50 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 3000000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "55 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 3300000
If GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime) = "60 Minutes" Then $PromoteTimeTrigger = 3600000

like this

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GUICreate("MY GUI", 600, 300)



GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Display Every...", 480,60,100,20)
        $PromoteTime = GUICtrlCreateCombo ("", 480,80,80,40)
        GUICtrlSetData(-1,"1 Minute|5 Minutes|10 Minutes|15 Minutes|20 Minutes|25 Minutes|30 Minutes|35 Minutes|40 Minutes|45 Minutes|50 Minutes|55 Minutes|60 Minutes");, $gPromoteTime)



GUISetState()


sleep(5000); time to change the data

$PromoteTimeTrigger = StringLeft((GUICtrlRead($PromoteTime)), 2) * 60000

MsgBox(0,"test", "$PromoteTimeTrigger = " & $PromoteTimeTrigger & "   " )
