reload combo

[technibel]

Hi. I'm trying to create an AdminGui with a Combo, a button, and Some ChildGuis. The Combo Field should be reload able. The only solution I found is to delete, and then create and load it new. It works fine as long I open a Child Gui and close it. Then the Reload Button only deletes the Combo and don't create it new.

I have created an example script, where you can see what I'm trying to write about.

Maybe my Code is Shit because I'm a Rooki AutoIT. But I hope I can get some SOLUTIONS at this Forum. Thanks to every reply!

Welcome to AutoIt,

I ran your example script and work perfect on my computer, then I realize that I'm using the latest AutoIt Beta 3.1.1.133. When I try to run your script using AutoIt release 3.1.1, I notice the combo box disappear.

You can download the latest AutoIt Beta here...

I don't know if you used Scite as editor but, you can download it from here...

After installing Scite and the latest AutoIt Beta you can run your script from Scite by pressing ALT+F5
