How do you get the text return in a Listbox?

[autocomplex 0]

$SelectList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 48, 88, 121, 77, -1, 0)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "1. Auto Fighter|2. Power Cutter|3. Power Fisher|4. Power Miner")

Global $selection = 0
Global $selectiondecipher = GUICtrlRead($SelectList)

Func Selection()
    While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg
    Select
        Case $msg = $NextButton
        $username = GUICtrlRead($UsernameInput)
        $password = GUICtrlRead($PasswordInput)
        
        If $selectiondecipher = "1. Auto Fighter" Then
            $selection = 1
        Endif

        
        If $selectiondecipher = "2. Power Cutter" Then
            $selection = 2
        Endif   
        
        If $selectiondecipher = "3. Power Fisher" Then
            $selection = 3
        Endif   
        
        If $selectiondecipher = "4. Power Miner" Then
            $selection = 4
        Endif   
        
        
            
    EndSelect   
    Wend
EndFunc

This is what I'm trying to do, but it says error. I read the help file and it said I should use GUICtrlRead, but GUICtrlRead doesn't work with GUICtrlSetData. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Like this....

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("")
$SelectList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 48, 88, 121, 77, -1, 0)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "1. Auto Fighter|2. Power Cutter|3. Power Fisher|4. Power Miner")
GUISetState()

While 1
    
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $SelectList Then MsgBox(0x0, "test", GUICtrlRead($SelectList), 2)
    
    If $msg = -3 Then Exit
    
WEnd

$selectedindex = ^ ERROR

[maqleod 1]

i get this ...

$selectedindex = _GUICtrlListSelectedIndex($SelectList) 
$selectedindex = ^ ERROR

you need to make sure to add the include:

#include <GUIList.au3>

now when i click the $NextButton, it doesn't open the other GUI. I set it up like this ...

Func Selection()
    While 1
    $selectedindex = _GUICtrlListSelectedIndex($SelectList)
    $selected = _GUICtrlListGetText($SelectList,$selectedindex)

    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        
        Case $msg = $NextButton
        $username = GUICtrlRead($UsernameInput)
        $password = GUICtrlRead($PasswordInput)
        
        If $selected = "1. Auto Fighter" Then
            $selection = 1
        Endif
        
        If $selected = "2. Power Cutter" Then
            $selection = 2
        Endif    
        
        If $selected = "3. Power Fisher" Then
            $selection = 3
        Endif    
        
        If $selected = "4. Power Miner" Then
            $selection = 4
        Endif

            
    EndSelect   
    WendoÝ÷ Ù«­¢+Ù%ÀÌØíͱѥ½¸ôÀQ¡¸(%U%MÑMÑÑ¡M]}M!=¤)¹¥)%ÀÌØíͱѥ½¸±ÐìÐìÀQ¡¸(%U%±Ñ ÀÌØí5¥¸¤)¹¥oÝ÷ ÚØb²+-¢^Ø^¢Ø^¬ejëh×6If $selection = 4 then 
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW);<== Sets the GUI to be Visible
endif

It is supposed to open another GUI when the user selects the 4th option. In this process it also shuts itself down.

Any help?

help ...

[maqleod 1]

are you trying to open a child gui? that is probably what you need to do if I am understanding correctly.

it would help if you posted your code in it's entirety.
