When AutoIT script is selecting Combobox item.

Combobox_SelectedIndexChanged Event is not triggering in Windows 10 OS.

But the same script is working fine in Windows 7 OS.

Please let us know how to solve this problem.

@Senthilraja Welcome to the forum!

First step would be to post your script (or a small reproducer) so that we can better understand your issue.

Dan

P.S. See here for how to properly post code in the forum

Thanks Danp,

Following is the code. First we need to select the customer and based on customer the  Orders will be populated in Orders Combo box and it order has to be selected and uploaded it Database.

The issue here is, After customer is selected the Order combo box is not getting populated. (Issue is on Windows 10 OS. But the same code works for Windows 7 OS) 

Reason - Combox_SelectedIndexChanged Event is not getting triggered in the application code.

One more observation: - If I add msgbox before second ControlClick($ID,"","") then above event is getting triggered and its working fine.

But i don't want have any msgbox in the workflow. please suggest how to proceed.

;Customer combo box selection
         $ID=controlgethandle($handle,"","[NAME:comboCustomer]")
         ControlClick ( $ID, "","")

         $index=_GUICtrlComboBox_FindStringExact($ID,$p[6][$c])
         dly($ts)
         $a=_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel( $ID, $index)
         dly($ts)

         ControlClick ( $ID, "","")
            

        ;Order Combo box Selection
        $ID=controlgethandle($handle,"","[NAME:comboOrder]")
    
        ControlClick ( $ID, "","")

        $index=_GUICtrlComboBox_FindStringExact($ID,$p[7][$c])
        dly($ts)
        $a=_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel( $ID, $index)
        dly($ts)

        ControlClick ( $ID, "","")

I assume the ControlClick is to cause the combobox to show / hide the listbox. Have you tried using _GUICtrlComboBox_ShowDropDown instead.

You could also try using _GUICtrlComboBox_SelectString instead of the combination of _GUICtrlComboBox_FindStringExact / GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel.

This makes it sound like a focus issue. Have you tried using ControlFocus to switch the input focus to a different control?

Thanks Danp,

I have tried ControlFocus but no luck.

Below statement worked.. " _GUICtrlComboBox_ShowDropDown" solved the issue.
