Getting the text value of a menu item

[JWoodruff]

Hello Again,

Ok I have created dynamic menu items that are read from an ini.

problem now is that when they are clicked I need the text value of that item in order to continue. Is there an easy way to get that value? I have attempted using GUICtrlRead(menucontrolvalue) no luck.

Thanks

i have like the smae problem, but im using a Listbox.

GUICtrlRead(LISTBOXCONTROL) will return the value at the index in that listbox (e.g user clicks third item in list then clicks button)

doesn't work because of GUICtrlSetData

Got a code sample?

???

#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

Don't know how to read the text, though I'm sure it's possible. But if you don't get a solution then if you are creating the menus from an ini file then you must be using the text when you generate the menu, so could you just save that in an array with the menu item ids?

$Mi[$n][0] = GuiCtrlCreateMenuItem($text,...

$Mi[$n][1] = $text

Thanks Martin! Looks like that's the way to go.
