problem selecting an item in a drop down list

[Art]

I'm trying to select an item in a drop down list in an existing (non-AutoIt) application. Using the AutoIt Info tool, I was able to get the information for the combo box and the items in the list.

I've tried to do it with the lines below. The "ShowDropDown" command works correctly - the list appears. But when I try to select an item in the list ("1280 x 720") with the second command nothing happens. The item in the list highlighted is the first in the list, not the 1280 x 720 and there is no selection of the 1280 x 720 item.

Can someone tell me how to select an item in the list.

Thanks,

ControlCommand("Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile", "", "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:7]", "ShowDropDown")

ControlCommand("Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile", "", "[CLASS:ComboLBox;INSTANCE:1]", "SelectString", '1280 x 720')

ControlCommand("Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile", "", "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:7]", "ShowDropDown")

ControlCommand("Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile", "", "[CLASS:ComboLBox;INSTANCE:1]", "SelectString", '1280 x 720')

In the first you use "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:7]", and in the second you use "[CLASS:ComboLBox;INSTANCE:1]"... why?

Originally, when I placed the AutoIt Info tool over the control before it is clicked, the tool says it's a ComboBox. When I click on the control and the list drops down, if I put the Info tool over the 1280 x 720 selection, the tool says it's ComboLBox. I changed the first ControlCommand to ComboLBox Instance 1, the control never gets clicked and the list doesn't drop down. Any ideas?

Did you try the other way around?

ControlCommand("Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile", "", "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:7]", "SelectString", '1280 x 720')

ControlCommand("Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile", "", "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:7]", "SelectString", '1280 x 720')

This single line doesn't work:

ControlCommand("Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile", "", "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:7]", "SelectString", '1280 x 720')

However, these two lines do work:

ControlCommand("Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile", "", "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:7]", "ShowDropDown")

ControlSend("Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile", "", "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:7]", "1280 x 720")

So, in the interest of time, I'm done with this issue.

Thanks again,

Are you trying to switch screen resolution? If so, maybe better try something like this:

#650356

If not... ignore post ...
