Does combo box work with GUI OnEventMode?

[psgame_freak]

If so, can I get a sample please.

I want to control my program depending on what option was selected on the combo box. And that's all I need the GUI for.

So basically:

1) Program starts with combo box

2) User selects an option

3) program starts according to option chosen on combo box.

4) The GUI sits there in case user wants to change his option.

I think you want something like this?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
GUICreate("Combo Test", 120, 80)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "close")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 30, 30, 60, 20)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($combo, "check")
GUICtrlSetData($combo, "One|Two|Three", "One")

Func check()
    $item = GUICtrlRead($combo)
    Select
        Case $item = "One"
            MsgBox(0, "", "This is One")
        Case $item = "Two"
            MsgBox(0, "", "This is Two")
        Case $item = "Three"
            MsgBox(0, "", "This is Three")
    EndSelect
EndFunc

Func close()
    Exit
EndFunc

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Yes! Thank you.

One big problem though.

My code looks exactly like yours now but I get error "Select" statement is missing "EndSelect" or "Case" statement.

Is there a limit on how many cases are there? Because I have 21.

And does it matter where everything is? Like, do function need to be above the infinite loop?

I don't know about a limit with Select, but I'm sure it wouldn't be as low as 21. I'd think it's an error in your script.

The order of certain things does matter. I've noticed the loop can be before personally created functions, but not before external functions and items like guicreate... It's easy enough just to make it last.

I'm actually brandnew to Autoit, so I may be wrong. I've started picking it up pretty quick, though, because of the amazing help file.

I know what I did wrong.

Don't name a variable select if you're going to use it inside While...WEnd
