Combo Box Problems

[fraudh8er]

I am a newbie, but the program is helping me do alot of things that I normally would take me a long time. I do have a quesiton.

I have the following combo box and it work great:

Dim $agencyST = GUISetControl("combo", "my combo", 150, 250, 50, 30)

GUISetControlData($agencyST,"IA|MN|WI|MO|TX", "IA")

I can select items from the combo box with the keyboard, by typing the 2 characters, but is there a way to get it to drop down with the mouse. Also I would like to know how to get the input back from the combo and how to use it.

DO I just use:

While 1

sleep(100)

$msg = GuiMsg(0)

Select

Case $msg = -3

Exit

Case $msg = 0

;;;

Case $msg = $agencyST

if $agencyST = "TX", etc

or what, thanks

Just make the Height of the combobox bigger...

e.g.

GUISetControl("combo", "my combo", 150, 250, 50, 80)

Thank you for the quick response, but then how do I get the input back from a checkbox:

if I have the variable: $checkbox1

do I just do a if statement for -1 or 0, and run commmand accordingly.

thanks again

In your script the $agencyST is the handle for the combobox so to get its value just do :

$checkbox1 = GuiRead($agencyST)

ok the combo box still doesnt work, this is what I have:

$agencyST = GUISetControl("combo", "my combo", 150, 250, 50, 180)

GUISetControlData(-1,"IA|MN|WI|MO|TX")

thanks for the help
