<autoit>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

#Include <GuiConstants.au3>

#Include <Constants.au3>

#include <file.au3>

;$file = @DesktopDir & "\novell_broadcasts_settings.csv"

GUICreate("Checkers v0.1", 290,80); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES

$filemenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("&File")

$fileopenitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Choose Asset File",$filemenu)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"Open")

$fileexititem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Exit",$filemenu)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"Xbutton")

$helpmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("&Help")

$helpchangeitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Change Log", $helpmenu)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"Change")

$helpaboutitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("About",$helpmenu)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"About")

$i = GUICtrlCreateCombo ("Bloomberg", 10,10,200,25) ; create first item

GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Notes Compression|Novell Broadcast|Reuters User Info","Bloomberg") ; add other item snd set a new default

$b = GUICtrlCreateButton("Check", 225, 8, 50)

GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_FOCUS)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "XButton")

GUISetState()

Do

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

if $msg = $b Then

Msgbox(0, "Selected listbox entry", GUICtrlRead($i)) ; display the selected listbox entry

$menustate = GUICtrlRead($filemenu) ; return the state of the menu item

$menutext = GUICtrlRead($filemenu, 1) ; return the text of the menu item

Msgbox(0, "State and text of the menuitem", "state:" & $menustate & @LF & "text:" & $menutext)

EndIf

Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

</autoit>

Here you are using events:

$fileopenitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Choose Asset File",$filemenu)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"Open")

But you have a GUI message loop at the bottom:

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

You can't mix OnEvent mode and GUI MessageLoop mode.

As weapon said:

Revised Code:

expandcollapse popup

#Include <GuiConstants.au3>
#Include <Constants.au3>
#include <file.au3>

;$file = @DesktopDir & "\novell_broadcasts_settings.csv"

GUICreate("Checkers v0.1", 290,80); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES
$filemenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("&File")
$fileopenitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Choose Asset File",$filemenu)
$fileexititem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Exit",$filemenu)
$helpmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("&Help")
$helpchangeitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Change Log", $helpmenu)
$helpaboutitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("About",$helpmenu)

$i = GUICtrlCreateCombo ("Bloomberg", 10,10,200,25); create first item
     GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Notes Compression|Novell Broadcast|Reuters User Info","Bloomberg"); add other item snd set a new default

$b = GUICtrlCreateButton("Check", 225, 8, 50)
     GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_FOCUS)

GUISetState()

while 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        switch $msg
            case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            case $b
                Msgbox(0, "Selected listbox entry", GUICtrlRead($i)); display the selected listbox entry
                $menustate = GUICtrlRead($filemenu); return the state of the menu item
                $menutext = GUICtrlRead($filemenu, 1); return the text of the menu item
                Msgbox(0, "State and text of the menuitem", "state:" & $menustate & @LF & "text:" & $menutext)
            case $fileopenitem
            case $fileexititem
            case $helpchangeitem
            case $helpaboutitem
        EndSwitch
WEnd

NOTE: I'M NOT A TROLL, as some keep saying. I just take what is given and work with it till i can get it to work for me and then share what I have. I'm trying my darndest to learn Auto.IT more and more, and i'm not one to keep my opinions to myself
