ControlID as function argument?

Guys, I just threw this together and the logic may be all wrong, but I need to pass a controlID as a function parameter. In the example below I have 3 combo boxes with the numbers 1-4. When a user picks a number for the first control, say 3, I want the second control to be 1,2,4. I don't want to display 3 in the second one since 3 has already been chosen. Instead of writing a function for each I was hoping to use one function and just pass the controlID as an argument. Can this be done somehow?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $array[5] = [4,"one","two","three","four"]

$gui = GUICreate("Test")

$combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,20)
GUICtrlSetData($combo1,"one|two|three|four")
$combo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,40)
$combo3 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,60)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)



While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
        
        if $msg = $combo1 Then
            _createComboList(GUICtrlRead($combo2),$combo2);<== I need to pass combo2 controlID 
        EndIf
        
        if $msg = $combo2 Then
            _createComboList(GUICtrlRead($combo3),$combo3);<== I need to pass combo3 controlID 
        EndIf
WEnd
GUIDelete()


Func _createComboList($c,$id)
    
    for $i = 1 To $array[0]
        if $array[$i] = $c Then
            ContinueLoop
        Else
            $tempVal &= $array[$i] & "|"
        EndIf
        
    Next
    
    $strip = StringTrimRight($tempVal,1)
    
    GUICtrlSetData($id,$strip);<==this is not going to work
    
EndFunc

I think I got it. I added an array of controls.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $array[5] = [4,"one","two","three","four"]

$gui = GUICreate("Test")

$combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,20)
GUICtrlSetData($combo1,"one|two|three|four")
$combo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,40)
$combo3 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,60)

Global $aCombos[4] = [3,$combo1,$combo2,$combo3] ;<== Add an array of controls

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)



While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
        
        if $msg = $combo1 Then
            _createComboList(GUICtrlRead($combo1),$aCombos[2]);<== I need to pass combo2 controlID 
        EndIf
        
        if $msg = $combo2 Then
            _createComboList(GUICtrlRead($combo2),$aCombos[3]);<== I need to pass combo3 controlID 
        EndIf
WEnd
GUIDelete()


Func _createComboList($c,$id)
    
    Local $tempVal = ""
    
    
    for $i = 1 To $array[0]
        MsgBox(0,"",$array[$i] & " = " & $c)
        if $array[$i] = $c Then
            ContinueLoop
        Else
            $tempVal &= $array[$i] & "|"
        EndIf
        
    Next
    
    $strip = StringTrimRight($tempVal,1)
    
    GUICtrlSetData($id,$strip) ;<==this is not going to work
    
EndFunc

Yep, that works as well, but it seems you can pass a controlID because you didn't change it and it worked. I thought when the control was passed it would be evaluated as some number. Your post actually dealt with the next problem I was going to have to deal with though. The way I wrote it combo3 would not show what was chosen in combo2, but the value from combo1 would be back.

hmm, you answered my question about using a controlID as a function argument, but using ArrayDelete is not going to work for this as well. You cannot go back and change your answers because the values have been deleted from the array. Anyway, you answered my question and I'll figure this out. Thanks,
