GuiCtrlSetOnEvent + Tabs (Solved)

[muncherw]

Can you not use GUICtrlSetOnEvent with a tabItem so that when you click a different tab it does something? Or do i always have to use GUICtrlRead and then use a switch to execute code based on that?

I think you to use GUICtrlSetOnEvent for the tab control not the tab items. Then when a tab is clicked you can find out which one is current with GuiCtrlRead.

Thanks for the hint, Martin. I figured out what my problem was- I did not start my new set of data with a delimiter so it was appending it rather than replacing it and I didn't notice. Once I did that every thing started working as intended. However one other problem arose, when I set the new data it floods in properly but the initial dropdown field is empty and I'd like to populate that. Any ideas on what function can help me set that? Using the optional default parameter with GUICtrlSetData may set the value but it doesn't display it.

Edited for typos.

Without your code I can't say, but the GuiCtrlCreateCombo example in the help sets a default value.

CODE

Global $adminSwitchList = "ADM1S-101|ADM1S-102|ADM1S-103|ADM2S-104|ADM2S-105|ADM2S-106|ADM2S-107|ADM2S-108|ADM2S-109|ADM3S-110|ADM3S-111|ADM3S-112|ADM3S-113|ADM3S-114|ADM3S-115|ADM4S-116|ADM4S-117|ADM4S-118|ADM4S-119|ADM4S-120|ADM5S-121|ADM5S-122|ADM5S-123|ADM5S-124|ADM5S-125"

$ADM1S = GUICtrlCreateCombo("ADM1S-100", 26, 83, 207, 25)

GUICtrlSetData(-1, $adminSwitchList)

;This works as expected

;Then later I want to reset the data. This is where the data changes but the default text isn't put in the box.

GUICtrlSetData($ADM1S, "|" & $adminSwitchList, "ADM1S-100")

Setting the default from the current list. If "ADM1S-100" is not present in the combo then it defaults to "".

Aaaaaah. Let me just try that. Perfect. Just what I was looking for. Thank you, Authenticity. Thank you too, Martin.
