Combo Box Options Not Pulled Down

[PsaltyDS]

I have a Combo Box problem in my GUI, and I know I'm missing something, but what? I run the example from the help file for GuiCtrlCreateCombo, and it works fine. I run mine and the list of options will not pull down. I can't see what I'm doing different. The options are all there, the list just won't pull down.

; Include statements
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

; Construct GUI 
$GuiHandle = GUICreate("My GUI", 400, 100, -1, -1)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Function To Perform:", 10, 10, 125, 20, $SS_Right)
$Combo_1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("None", 145, 10, 245, 20)
GUICtrlSetData($Combo_1, "Option One|Option Two|Option Three")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GuiHandle)

While (1)
    $GuiMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $GuiMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

...confusion reigns.

Hmm your code works for me. I have tested it with beta and prod.

[BigDod]

Works here to. Is there more to the script that could be causing the problem ?

[GaryFrost]

set to height of the combo to 100 or higher

PsaltyDS is using Windows 2000 and you other guys are using Windows XP.

How do I know this.. ? I have certain powers.

@ PsaltyDS : Change the combo's height to around 100px and it will work.

I'm going to reboot Windoze, re-install AutoIT and the Beta - something is wrong here. The example from the help file runs, but mine doesn't work. Anything with '#include <array.au3>' in it kicks an error:

>Running: (3.1.1.0):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "D:\Scripting\ChUsr\ChangeUser.au3"    
C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\array.au3 (170) : ==> Badly formatted "Func" statement.: 
Func _ArrayDisplay(Const ByRef $avArray, $sTitle) 
Func _ArrayDisplay(^ ERROR
>AutoIT3.exe ended.

That error is NOT produced if I run with Alt-F5 instead of just F5. And the GUI with the Combo box problem is also asigning a ControlID of 0 to the first button! So my GUI loop continuously executes the $GuiButton1 action!

While (1)
    $GuiMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    MsgBox(32, "Debug", "$GuiMsg = " & $GuiMsg)
    Select
        Case $GuiMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GuiMsg = $GuiButton1
            MsgBox(32, $ScriptNameMsg, "Change User(s) button was pressed!")
        Case $GuiMsg = $GuiButton2
            Exit
    EndSelect
WEnd

My whole AutoIT environment seems to have gone bonkers...

Sure enough...

Is there a similar fix for the <array.au3> bug, or invalid control ID given to my button?

Edit: Hmm... the example from the Help file gives no width/height at all, and it works on my computer. Removing those from my script did not fix it... what the heck?

I have had this error too, after installing Beta 106. I used au2exe of the prodversion. After changing to betaversion au2exe it worked.

[PsaltyDS]

I uninstalled beta 104, prod, and SciTE. Reinstalled prod, beta 106, SciTE, and SciTE Update. No change on my issues.

This is REALLY UGLY!

My script has GUI stuff, including buttons. It will have arrays later today.

I can only use #include <array.au3> with the beta Run (alt-F5 in SciTE), but I can only use Buttons in Prod becuase the beta run causes all my buttons to get a control ID of 0!

AAAAAArrrrrrrrgh!

Is there a particular version of beta that will support both arrays and buttons on Win2K?

My code so far:

expandcollapse popup

; Include statements
#include <array.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

; Construct GUI for operator interface
$GuiHandle = GUICreate("Change User Functions", 400, 200, -1, -1)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Function To Perform:", 10, 10, 125, 20, $SS_Right)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("None", 145, 10, 245, 120)
GUICtrlSetData($Combo1, "Change User's Password|Add User|Delete User|Make User Administrator|Make User Non-Administrator", "None")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Target User Name:", 10, 40, 125, 20, $SS_Right)
$Input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 145, 40, 245, 20)
GUISetState($GUI_DROPACCEPTED, $Input_1)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Target User Password:", 10, 70, 125, 20, $SS_Right)
$Input_2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 145, 70, 245, 20)
GUISetState($GUI_DROPACCEPTED, $Input_2)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Target Range:", 10, 100, 125, 20, $SS_Right)
$Combo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Local", 145, 100, 245, 120)
GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, "Remote Computer|Workgroup List", "Local")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Target Comp/WkGrp:", 10, 130, 125, 20, $SS_Right)
$Input_3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 145, 130, 245, 20)
GUISetState($GUI_DROPACCEPTED, $Input_3)

$GuiButton_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Change User(s)", 75, 160, 100, 30)

$GuiButton_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Quit", 225, 160, 100, 30)

MsgBox(32, "Debug", "$GuiButton_1 = " & $GuiButton_1 & @CRLF & _
"$GuiButton_2 = " & $GuiButton_2)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GuiHandle)

While (1)
    $GuiMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $GuiMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GuiMsg = $GuiButton_1
            MsgBox(32, $ScriptNameMsg, "Change User(s) button was pressed!")
        Case $GuiMsg = $GuiButton_2
            Exit
    EndSelect
WEnd

You may note I don't have any array functions in there yet that require array.au3, but they will be needed, and this SHOULD work!

[PsaltyDS]

Confusion still reigns, but the fog is lifting slightly...

1. The issue with the Combo Box pull-down list is solved. Setting a height for the control of 100+ made it work in both Prod and Beta. This may be a compatibility with Win2K thang.

2. The issue with '#include <Array.au3>' is simply incompatibility between Prod and Beta versions. The installer for Beta overwrites the Prod include files, and breaks Array.au3 for Prod. Of course Beta include files need to go in a seperate place from Prod include files to prevent this, and the Gurus already knew that, and they are already working it.

3. The GuiCtrlButton() = 0 problem is not clear to me yet. That works in Prod but not Beta, so being overwriten by Beta doesn't seem to be the answer. The help file for Beta doesn't seem to show a new command syntax for this command, so I don't know what's going on there yet.

Work'n it... well, watching as the smart people are work'n it...

Edit: JdeB solved number 3 - My earlier 'GuiSetState()' should have been 'GuiCtrlSetState()'. By setting a funky state on the GUI instead of the control (without generating any errors to tip me off) the later GuiCtrlCreateButton command simply failed, returning zero.

Confusion no longer reigns!

The working version in progress now (for Beta only) is:

CODE

; Include statements

#include <array.au3>

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

; Construct GUI for operator interface

$GuiHandle = GUICreate(@ScriptName, 400, 200)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Function To Perform:", 10, 10, 125, 20, $SS_Right)

$Combo_1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("None", 145, 10, 245, 120)

GUICtrlSetData($Combo_1, "Change User's Password|Add User|Delete User|Make User Administrator|Make User Non-Administrator", "None")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Target User Name:", 10, 40, 125, 20, $SS_Right)

$Input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput(@UserName, 145, 40, 245, 20)

GUICtrlSetState($GUI_DROPACCEPTED, $Input_1)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Target Range:", 10, 70, 125, 20, $SS_Right)

$Combo_2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Local", 145, 70, 245, 120)

GUICtrlSetData($Combo_2, "Remote Computer|Workgroup List", "Local")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Target Comp/WkGrp:", 10, 100, 125, 20, $SS_Right)

$Input_2 = GUICtrlCreateInput(@ComputerName, 145, 100, 245, 20)

GUICtrlSetState($GUI_DROPACCEPTED, $Input_2)

$GuiButton_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Change User(s)", 75, 160, 100, 30)

$GuiButton_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Quit", 225, 160, 100, 30)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GuiHandle)

While (1)

$GuiMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $GuiMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

Case $GuiMsg = $GuiButton_1

$Function = GUICtrlRead($Combo_1)

$TargetUser = GUICtrlRead($Input_1)

$TargetRange = GUICtrlRead($Combo_2)

$TargetComp = GUICtrlRead($Input_2)

ExitLoop

Case $GuiMsg = $GuiButton_2

Exit

EndSelect

WEnd

GUIDelete($GuiHandle)

Select

Case $Function = "None"

Exit

Case $Function = "Change User's Password"

While (1)

$NewUserPW = InputBox(@ScriptName, "Enter New Password For: " & $TargetUser, "", "*")

If $NewUserPW = "" Then

If @error = 1 Then

Exit

Else

ContinueLoop

EndIf

EndIf

If $NewUserPW = InputBox(@ScriptName, "Re-Enter New Password For: " & $TargetUser, "", "*") Then

ExitLoop

Else

MsgBox(16, @ScriptName, "New password did not verify. Try Again.", 5)

ContinueLoop

EndIf

WEnd

EndSelect

Look at the last post in your BUG report for your solution to this issue ..

I saw that before I came here to add the solution to my status post here!

For everyone else's information -- JdeB rocks, but then you knew that!
