Clueless

First of all hi to everyone.

Ive been using autoit for a short time and been reading the forums for a while i never had to post before but today i encountered a problem with my code and i want to see if any of you could help me out with it, i just dont get what im doing wrong here:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#Include <Constants.au3>
#Include <GuiComboBoxEx.au3>

$mainWindow = GUICreate("ComboBoxEx Create", 450, 500)

global $cf1=1000
global $cf2=1000, $cf3, $cf4, $cf5, $cf6, $cf7, $cf8

$coord = 40
    for $i = 8 to 1 step -1
        assign(eval("cf" & $i),_GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create ($mainWindow, _
            "1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8", _ 
            2, $coord, 394, 268,$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST))
            _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_SetCurSel(eval("cf" & $i), $i)
        GUICtrlSetState(eval("cf" & $i), $GUI_ONTOP)
        $coord += 35
    next  
    
GUISetState()
while 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    if $msg == $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE then exit
WEnd

The problem is that this code doesnt set the combo box value but at random time it does set it but only the number 2 to a random combo box. Execute it like 10 times to see what im saying. Thanks in advance.

Couldn't reproduce, but hey! You should really learn about arrays, it will save you loads of time and problems instead of that eval,assign crap.

Oh and welcome to the forums

I agree, and there doesn't seem to be any requirement for 'Ex' versions of the _GuiCtrlComboBox_* stuff. This works either way, and gets the default selections desired:

Regular UDF:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>

Global $mainWindow = GUICreate("ComboBox Create", 450, 500)
Global $avComboBoxes[8]
For $i = 0 to UBound($avComboBoxes) - 1 
    $avComboBoxes[$i] = _GUICtrlComboBox_Create ($mainWindow, _
            "1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8", _
            20, 40 + ($i * 35), 394, 268, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
    _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($avComboBoxes[$i], $i)
    GUICtrlSetState($avComboBoxes[$i], $GUI_ONTOP)
Next  
GUISetState()

Do 
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

GuiComboBoxEx UDF:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#Include <GuiComboBoxEx.au3>

Global $mainWindow = GUICreate("ComboBoxEx Create", 450, 500)
Global $avComboBoxes[8]
For $i = 0 to UBound($avComboBoxes) - 1 
    $avComboBoxes[$i] = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create ($mainWindow, _
            "1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8", _
            20, 40 + ($i * 35), 394, 268, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
    _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_SetCurSel($avComboBoxes[$i], $i)
    GUICtrlSetState($avComboBoxes[$i], $GUI_ONTOP)
Next  
GUISetState()

Do 
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

The handles to the eight combo boxes are in $avComboBoxes[0] thru $avComboBoxes[7]. Much easier to deal with that way.
