can anybody tell me about combo boxes?

[damian666]

i have made a script to change wallpapers, and it works like a charm on XP.

but when i trie it on 2000, my combo box doesnt see any folders , which i got it to search for..

but on XP, it works great???

any ideas?

;Read ini file
    $Standard = IniRead("Wallchanger.ini", "Maps", "Current", "")

;Create combo and set to current map
    $Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 213, 323, 160, 25)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $Standard)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "combo1Click")
    $Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select a Wallpaper pack", 216, 352, 150, 17)
;Create combo and set to current map end
    
; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory
    $search = FileFindFirstFile(@ScriptDir & "\Wallpaper\*.*")

; Check if the search was successful
    If $search = -1 Then
        GUICtrlSetData($Label3, "No wallpaper packs found")
        GUICtrlSetState($Combo1, $GUI_DISABLE)
    EndIf

;find map names if any...
    While 1
        $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo1, $file)
    WEnd

; Close the search handle
    FileClose($search)

Any help is appriciated damian666

It probably does find them, but your combo doesn't drop down right?

in XP the sixe of a combo box is dynamic but on 2K it isn't

Change this line $Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 213, 323, 160, 25) to $Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 213, 323, 160, 120) and see how you go. I changed the 25 drop down size to 120

Try it, you may want to adjust the 120 figure for 2K

[damian666]

so if i get this straight, there is no other way to do this?

Not that its bad, but just curious.

Will try tonight, i am on my work now so.

But i promise to report back with the result!!

thanx again, your a real live saver

hi man, i promised i be back huh?!

well, it is fixed. thank you, it works like a charm again.

It is good to make that combobox larger on 2000.

and no, it does not fuck up the size in XP.

thank you
