ComboBox list rest

[DaleJrFan]

I am able to read and write to the INI file. But when I write to the INI file, my Combobox dropdown List is not updating with the new information unless I close the entire Script and restart it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure what script to show becasue it is such a big file.

Do you mean update the listbox with the new .ini values?

Yes The combo Box list will not get the new values in the INI unless I restart

Does not seem to be working. Here is the code

$Main_Entry = GUICreate("Main Entry - " & $Version_Product, 433, 150, -1, -1)

GUISetIcon($Icon)

GUISetBkColor(0x008000)

TraySetIcon($Icon)

Global $MainName = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 24, 16, 281, 25, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST + $CBS_SORT)

$List = IniReadSectionNames($iniFileFolder & "\" & $iniFileName)

If @error Then

MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occurred, probably no INI file.")

Else

For $i = 1 To $List[0]

GUICtrlSetData($MainName, $List[$i], "")

Next

EndIf

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

$New = GUICtrlCreateButton("New", 44, 56, 81, 25, 0)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($New, "NewButton")

$View = GUICtrlCreateButton("View Contact", 204, 56, 81, 25, 0)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($View, "ViewContact")

$Close = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 127, 98, 81, 25, 0)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Close, "CloseButton")

$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic($Main_Entry_Photo, 320, 16, 100, 105, 0)

$MenuFile = GUICtrlCreateMenu("File")

$MenuFileSubNew = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Add New Contact", $MenuFile)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($MenuFileSubNew, "NewButton")

$MenuFileSeperator = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $MenuFile)

$MenuFileSubClose = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Close", $MenuFile)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($MenuFileSubClose, "CloseButton")

$MenuHelp = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Help")

$MenuHelpSubAbout = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem(("About -" & $Version_Product), $MenuHelp)

Guictrlsetonevent($MenuHelpSubAbout, "AboutProgram")

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")

If you mean that the example I gave doesn't work then it does when I run it.

If you mean that the code you posted doesn't work then I have no way of knowing what doesn't work because the code you posted isn't complete. You are using OnEvent mode but there is nothing in what you posted to set that mode, none of the functions to be called by events are included and there is no idle loop.

Can you post some code which runs and shows your problem, and give an example of an ini file you are using?

If you enclose yor code with code tags ([ c o d e ] before and [ / c o d e ] after but without spaces) it will be easier for us to read.
