Check the help file for the _GuiCtrlCombo* functions. Post short demo code if you need more specific help.

Hmm...

ComboLBox is a "special" case, if I recall.

The help file for ControlCommand() specifically says:

Certain commands that work on normal Combo and ListBoxes do not work on "ComboLBox" controls.

Do you or anyone else know of a common app, or a freeware or open source one, that would use this control type for experimenting on?

Hey,

I am having troubles to click (or identify or select) a string in a given ComboLbox. The ComboLbox does not seem to have Window title, only handle. I am not sure if I will be able to get the handle.

Anyway, you can see one application of this style of Control in Adobe Acrobat PDF printing properties/Layout/advanced. It is a SysTreeView32 window.

Let me know please if anyone managed to solve the issue. PM please.

I had the same problem here is function that I wrote to select a string from the comboxes' that use comboLbox. What it does is opens the dropdown listbox control in the combobox and sets the cursor in the listbox. This causes editbox portion of the combobox to update allowing you to read the string and compare it.

#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>
#Include <GuiEdit.au3>
#Include <GuiListBox.au3>

Func ComboLBox_SelectString($Window,$WindowText,$ControlID, $SelectString, $fPartialOK = True)
    Local $tInfo
    $returnVal=False
    $hCombo=ControlGetHandle($Window, $WindowText,$ControlID)
    If _GUICtrlComboBox_GetComboBoxInfo($hCombo, $tInfo) Then
        $hEdit=DllStructGetData($tInfo, "hEdit")
        $hList=DllStructGetData($tInfo, "hList")
        
        $EditTxt=_GUICtrlEdit_GetText($hEdit)
        If (((StringInStr($EditTxt, $SelectString)>0) AND $fPartialOK) Or((StringCompare($EditTxt, $SelectString)=0) AND NOT $fPartialOK))  Then
                $returnVal=True
        Else
            ;Open ListBox Control
            _GUICtrlComboBox_ShowDropDown($hCombo, True)
            ;Find SetText and Select 
            $i=0
            $ListEnd=_GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($hList) - 1
            While($i<=$ListEnd AND NOT $returnVal)
                _GUICtrlListBox_SetCurSel($hList,$i)
                $EditTxt=_GUICtrlEdit_GetText($hEdit)
                If (((StringInStr($EditTxt, $SelectString)>0) AND $fPartialOK) Or((StringCompare($EditTxt, $SelectString)=0) AND NOT $fPartialOK))  Then
                        $returnVal=True
                        _GUICtrlListBox_ClickItem($hList,$i)
                EndIf
                $i=$i+1
            WEnd
            _GUICtrlComboBox_ShowDropDown($hCombo, False)
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Return $returnVal
EndFunc
