Converting Menu Selections to Dropdown (Combo) Boxes

[chazzmani]

Hi all. I am trying to convert a script that allows users to pick options from an option menu to allowing them to pick options from a dropdown (combo) box. Can someone assist? Right now, this is how the menu option code looks:

$Optionselect = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Select Option", $MenuOptions)

$A1[0] = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Option a", $Optionselect) ; create first item

$A1[1] = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Option b", $Optionselect) ; create 2nd item

$A1[2] = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Option c", $Optionselect) ; create 3rd item

$A1[3] = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Other", $Optionselect) ; create 4th item

As you can see, variable A1 is driven by the menu selection. How do I convert that into 'GUICtrlCreateCombo' code? My first attempt looked something like this:

$A1[0] = GUICtrlCreateCombo ("Option a", 95,139,76,10) ; create first item

GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Option b|Option c|Other") ; add more items

This makes the combo box appear correctly, but I don't how to assign subsequent options to the proper variables the same way I did in the menu control. Again, I want to get completely away from using a menu-driven control and move to a dropdown control.

Thanks!

Not a good idea to double post.

I have given a second answer to your earlier thread in the Graphical User Interface support forum.

My apologies. I tried to go into the first post and delete it and could not find an option to do so. Is that possible?

In any event, thank you.

No problem.

I think you can only delete posts which do not have replies, and maybe you can't even delete those until you have a certain number of posts.

I am finding this forum gets MUCH more traffic than the other ones... live and learn I guess.
