Help with guictrlsetdata

[Dezypher]

ok i have been using autoit to help with some automation processes and i have hit a block here.

i am trying to use the guictrlsetdata to populate a drop down list that shows 3 different variables (not the names but the value that the variable contains)

i have tried lots of different ways to get this done and generally this will work with constants:

GUICtrlSetData(-2,"Z|Q|S|X", "X")

but how would you do this with variables? like this:

guictrlsetdata(-1, $nextyear|$lastyear, $lastyear)

this gives an error about not able to parse the line

any ideas?

guictrlsetdata(-1, $nextyear & "|" & $lastyear, $lastyear)

guictrlsetdata(-1, $nextyear & "|" & $lastyear, $lastyear)

guictrlsetdata(-1, $nextyear & "|" & $lastyear, $lastyear)

Additionally, if you were trying to populate the dropdown with the contents of an array, I've got an example -> here.
