WildByDesign Posted July 3 Posted July 3 I have a combobox already and I would like to add a separator (horizontal line) in the list. I know how to add a separator line in menus and tray menus by adding an item "", but this does not seem to work for a combobox list. Is this even possible? I know that I could add a fake item with characters to create a line, but then it would also become possible to select that fake item and I don't want that. Thank you for your time.
IronFine Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Without subclassing the control you only try to revert to the old entry, when the user selects it: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("ComboBox with Fake Separator", 300, 200) $hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 50, 50, 200) GUICtrlSetData($hCombo, "Option 1|Option 2|----------|Option 3|Option 4") GUISetState() Local $prevSelection = "Option 1" GUICtrlSetData($hCombo, $prevSelection) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case Else Local $sel = GUICtrlRead($hCombo) If $sel = "----------" Then GUICtrlSetData($hCombo, $prevSelection) Else $prevSelection = $sel EndIf EndSwitch WEnd WildByDesign 1
argumentum Posted July 3 Posted July 3 6 hours ago, WildByDesign said: Is it possible to add separator (horizontal line) to ComboBox list? Is it possible to add separator (horizontal line) popup a listview when I click ComboBox list? Is it possible to have a listview under a combobox button ? I know that am not answering the OP question but, is there another way to graphically present the data/info that you'd like to show in a creative way ? I was thinking of you click a control ( button or label or anything ) and a child GUI with a listview without header in it could have sections. ( I'd code an example but am busy. In any case, if you like the idea as an alternative, try it out ) Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ). FAQ - Please Read Before Posting.

WildByDesign Posted July 4 Author Posted July 4 (edited) There are some great responses and creative ideas here. Thank you all so much. I apologize for my delay in responding. I hope that I don’t seem rude for the delay. I had moved forward with other parts of the GUI while my mind (and ideas) was fresh. Later today I am going to return to this important part of my GUI and I will try the various ideas. Once I get a chance to try them, I will respond here to each of your ideas. As always, I am grateful for your time and your help. Edited July 4 by WildByDesign argumentum and ioa747 2

argumentum Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Story time: I love my parents but I needed to move out and I told a woman I loved her, she told me she loved me to. My parents whom I loved used to do my laundry and in her case, it was the same. We divorced because we did not find in each other the love we got from our parents. If we were to share more we would have realized that we were looking for an attendant, ..some one to cook and clean after ourselves 🤪 The more you share, ex: I want this towards solving this, brings about context PS: the story is fictional, mostly WildByDesign 1 Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ).

WildByDesign Posted July 4 Author Posted July 4 9 minutes ago, argumentum said: It all depends on how many items you're thinking of. Since you wanted dividers I thought that maybe with submenus I load my main combo box from an array of about 15-20 items but it could be more or less depending on user configuration. I also loaded that same array into a menubar during testing. So I could use that same function to load the array into the context menu like you suggested. I will try this tonight and see how it goes. argumentum 1
