IniRead not working properly on a combobox

[jhonson 0]

Hello, i'm new to autoit and am trying to learn it since the past month. By searching this forum and examples found here have taught me a lot. I tried to make a colour box sort of thing for fun but i have come up with a problem, in my code when i click the load button the colour along with the first combobox loads up but the second combobox doesn't load. I checked the ini file and data gets saved like $dropdown2=Indian Red but it isn't being read i guess. Since the first combobox works as intented i guess the problem of the 2nd combobox lies in -setting the data after any selection is selected in the first combobox. But i'm unable to come with a solution, any help is appreciated.

Try the following or add it as a separate function, basically your 2nd combobox hasn't been populated so you need to populate it after loading the first combobox.

Hope that makes sense.

Func Profile()
   _GUICtrlComboBox_SelectString($dropdown, IniRead("Colour Box.ini","Profile 1","$dropdown",""))
         $comboread = GUICtrlRead($dropdown)
         If $comboread = "Red" Then GUICtrlSetData($dropdown2, "|Indian Red|Maroon|Chili|Redwood|Crimson" )
         If $comboread = "Blue" Then GUICtrlSetData($dropdown2, "|Navy|Azure|Teal|Sky|Turquoise" )
         If $comboread = "Green" Then GUICtrlSetData($dropdown2, "|Lime|Lightgreen|Spring|Forest|Olive" )
   _GUICtrlComboBox_SelectString($dropdown2, IniRead("Colour Box.ini","Profile 1","$dropdown2",""))
   GUICtrlSetBkColor($box,IniRead("Colour Box.ini","Profile 1","$boxcolour",""))
EndFunc

Wow, i actually tried this before posting but without adding $comboread = GUICtrlRead($dropdown). Thanks for the help @Subz.
