Combo Box URL

[JavaScript_Freek]

How would you go about?

Where you go down a drop down box and once you click a option, it would go to a specified URL?

[Valuater]

maybe...

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$home = "http://www.autoitscript.com/"
$forum = "http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?"

GUICreate("My GUI combo")  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo ("", 10,10) ; create first item
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Autoit Home|Autoit Forums","Autoit Home") ; add other item snd set a new default

GUISetState ()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    
    If $msg = $combo Then
        If StringInStr(GUICtrlRead($combo), "Home") Then
            Run(@ComSpec & " /c Start " & $home, "", @SW_HIDE)
        Else
            Run(@ComSpec & " /c Start " & $forum, "", @SW_HIDE)
        EndIf
    EndIf
    
Wend

if you don't use SciTE I would suggest you start, it would help greatly in writing/debugging code.

fixed some of your stuff not all.

true, it runs the default browser if nothing is wrong, haven't looked into it yet, but I have 2 systems the 1st won't work on. At one time it did, but then after some of the XP patches it quit.

Edit: Using ShellExecute I'm able to narrow it down to access denied, so I must have some setting set that won't let me run it that way. One of these days I'll figure it out.
