Problems with GUICtrlRead

[craigholohan]

Hi Guys and Gals,

I am trying to get extract selected text in a combo box.

The code below is just a simple example of what I am trying to get at, I figured if I can get it to display in a message I can then add it to my main code.

Basically what I need is to get the text selected in the Combo Box so I can use it in below scenario:

This is what I have:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'netsh interface ip set address name= "Wireless Network Connection" static '& $IPAddressMessage &' '& $SubNetMessage &' '& $GatwayMessage &' 1' , "", @SW_HIDE)

This is what I want:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'netsh interface ip set address name= "& $Available_Connections & " static '& $IPAddressMessage &' '& $SubNetMessage &' '& $GatwayMessage &' 1' , "", @SW_HIDE)

So depending on what Network Connections are available I can select the one I want to run the netsh command on.

Hope this makes sense and someone can help me cause I am pulling my hair out again.

Please see what I have

Opt ("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

#Include <GuiConstants.au3>

Global $connection

Global $objwmiservice = ObjGet('winmgmts:\\localhost\root\CIMV2')

Local $Main_Form = GUICreate("My test GUI", 300,100,-1,-1)

GUICtrlCreateGroup("Select Network connection", 5, 5, 280, 50)

Local $NIC_Conect = GUICtrlCreateCombo ("Select profile ---", 15,25,150)

Local $Available_Connections = GUICtrlRead($NIC_Conect)

Local $connection = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ('SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter', 'WQL', 0x10 + 0x20)

If IsObj($connection) Then

For $wmiServices In $connection

If $wmiServices.netconnectionstatus = 2 Then GUICtrlSetData($NIC_Conect, $wmiServices.netconnectionid)

GUISetState()

Next

EndIf

GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)

;Buttons

$testNIC_Read=GUICtrlCreateButton ("Read Selected", 170,24,90,22)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($testNIC_Read,"_testConnection")

$Exit = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Exit Test",100,60,80,30)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Exit,"_Exit")

;Functions

EndFunc

Sleep(5000)

WEnd

You read the Control before its even filled with values. You need to do a GUICTRLREAD() when the event is triggered.
