Creating contextual drop downs

[Moist]

Hello guys,

I tried looking for this but couldn't find anything.

Let's say I have 2 dropdown lists in my GUI. In my first one I can select between A and B and the second one that is empty until I select something from the first one.
If I select A from the first dropdown the values 1 and 2 appear to be selectable, if I select B from the first one, I get 3 and 4 to be selectable in the second dropdown.

Can anyone explain me how to create these contextual dropdowns?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Local $hGUI = GuiCreate("Test", 300, 200)
$cmb1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Select a day", 10, 10, 100, 60)
    GUICtrlSetData($cmb1, "Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday", "Select a day")
$cmb2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Select a class", 120, 10, 100, 60)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $cmb1
                Switch GUICtrlRead($cmb1)
                    Case "Tuesday"
                        GUICtrlSetData($cmb2, "")
                        GUICtrlSetData($cmb2, "Select a class|Math|Psych|Robotics", "Select a class")
                    Case "Thursday"
                        GUICtrlSetData($cmb2, "")
                        GUICtrlSetData($cmb2, "Select a class|Trig|PE|Choir", "Select a class")
                EndSwitch
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
