[HELP] GUICtrlCreateCombo Directory List

[confucion]

How do I recreate a directory list within a GUICtrlCreateCombo?

Lets say I have a folder like this:

D:\Folder A\Folder B\102

D:\Folder A\Folder B\104

D:\Folder A\Folder B\105

D:\Folder A\Folder B\106

D:\Folder A\Folder B\109

I need to read the folders in Folder B and put them in a GUICtrlCreateCombo and assign the selected folder <104> to a variable for usage.

Tks.

I'm using AutoIt v3.1.1, do both of these replies still apply? I can't seem to find _FileListToArray in the Help file...
