Easy GUICtrlRead Issue

[JetsterDajet]

I've been working on this for hours and I know I'm missing something simple. All I want it to do is to return the text selected in the combo. The script always returns the text defined in GuiCtrlCreateCombo and ignores any data set from the GUICtrlSetData. I know this is easy, your help is appreciated.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("test", 135, 10)

    $productlist = "product1|product2|product3"
    $product = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Select a Product", 210, 85, 150, 100)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $productlist)
    $dropit = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Drop It!", 210, 420 , 90 , 20)
    $productget = GUICtrlRead($product)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    
    While 1
  $msg = GUIGetMsg()


  Select
  Case $msg = $dropit
    ClipPut($productget)
    
          Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
      ExitLoop
  EndSelect
WEnd

Need to read the control AFTER the selections

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("test", 135, 10)

    $productlist = "product1|product2|product3"
    $product = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Select a Product", 210, 85, 150, 100)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $productlist)
    $dropit = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Drop It!", 210, 420 , 90 , 20)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    
    While 1
  $msg = GUIGetMsg()


  Select
  Case $msg = $dropit
    ClipPut(GUICtrlRead($product))
    
          Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
      ExitLoop
  EndSelect
WEnd
