Combo Box with Ini Input and Read the selection

[Earthquake]

Hi Snipez,

I want to create a combo, which gets it contents from a .ini file like this:

Name of file: Scriptregister.ini

[START]

Count=3

Script1=App
Exec1=c:\app.exe

Script2=Appl
Exec2=c:\appl.exe

Script3=Apple
Exec3=c:\apple.exe

I can load the content of the .ini into the combo, thats not the problem.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$ScriptFilename=("C:\Scriptregister.ini")
$CountTemplates = IniRead($ScriptFilename, "Start", "Count","1")

    for $i = 1 to $CountTemplates
        
$ComboText = IniRead($ScriptFilename, "Start", "Script"& $i , $i)
        
if ($i = 1) then
   $combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo ($ComboText , 32 , 2 , 200 , 25 , $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
else
    GUICtrlSetData($combo, $ComboText)
endif
        
next

How can I get the marked item of the .ini and start the application, which belongs to it???

I have no more ideas...

P.S. Please no replies like "you're such a noob", I know I am and I'm simply asking for help!

porbably the easiest way to do this is not to call the exe's "Execl1".

take the name instead:

[START]

Count=3

Script1=App
App=c:\app.exe

Script2=Appl
Appl=c:\appl.exe

Script3=Apple
Apple=c:\apple.exe

then read the dir from the .ini, and run it:

run(IniRead($ScriptFilename, "Start", GUICtrlRead($combo) , "")

Hi,

I had a quick & dirty solution for this: :">

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiCombo.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$var = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\scripts.ini", "start")
If @error Then MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occurred, probably no INI file.")

Global $a
For $i=1 To $var[0][0]
    $a = $a & ($var[$i][0] & '|')
Next

GUICreate("My GUI")  
$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Applications" , 32 , 2 , 200 , 25 , $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
$start_B = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Start" , 32 , 200 , 200 , 25 )
GUICtrlSetData($combo,  $a)
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)   

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    Global $index = _GUICtrlComboGetCurSel($combo)
    If $msg = $start_B Then RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c start ' & $var[$index][1], '', @SW_HIDE)
Wend

With this ini

[START]
App=c:\app.exe
Appl=c:\appl.exe
Apple=c:\apple.exe

So long,

Ok, no problem, I'll change it!

$Exec = IniRead($ScriptFilename, "Start", $combo,"")

Select
   Case $MsgBoxAnswer = 6
            
      run($Exec)
    
   Case $MsgBoxAnswer = 7
EndSelect

Thats my code now and it works just fine.

First I tried a while loop, to determine, wich number of the "Script" entry in the .ini is meant. <- Horrible!
