Combobox with multi columns

[jfcby]

Hi,

I've been searching this forum and the help file looking for a way to create a combobox with multi columns loaded from a text file.

My txt file data will look like this:

Id1 Full Name 1

Id2 Full Name 2

Id3 Full Name 3

The ids and full names will not be the same character length. When the combobox selection is made I will only need the Id to be inserted into an IE form and the full name is for reference only.

The examples I found in the help file and in this forum are single column only.

Thank you for your help,

jfcby

I guess I don't understand what you mean by "columns" in a combobox... Since comboboxes don't have columns?

This is about the closest thing I could fathom to what you want:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Opt ("GuiOnEventMode", 1)

Global $combo

GUICreate("My GUI combo")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_GUI_EVENT_CLOSE")

$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Id1", 10, 10)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent (-1, "_ComboFunc")
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Id2|Id3")

GUISetState()

While 1
    
    Sleep (50)
WEnd

Func _ComboFunc()
    Switch GUICtrlRead ($combo)
        Case "Id1"
            MsgBox (0, "Id1", "Full Name 1")
        Case "Id2"
            MsgBox (0, "Id2", "Full Name 2")
        Case "Id3"
            MsgBox (0, "Id3", "Full Name 3")
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Func _GUI_EVENT_CLOSE()
    Exit
EndFunc

Perhaps you mean to use a ListView control, vice a ComboBox?

I think they say this, a listview vice a combobox, i was searching this too, but not 2 controls, a style for combobox that can able columns in the list of the combobox, like groups in listview (it's an user function)
