Can you say what the problem is with

$a =ControlCommand("Select User or Group","","1032","Selectstring","abc")

?

This line

$a=ControlClick("Select User or Group","","Button9[,Click]")

should be

$a=ControlClick("Select User or Group","","Button9")

The square brackets [,Clicks] means that the parameter clicks is optional so you don't have to include it. If you don't include it then it is assumed that the number of times to click is 1 (the default). If you do include it you have to use the number of clicks like this

$a=ControlClick("Select User or Group","","Button9",2);for 2 clicks

I have made some changes...

Thanks for the suggestions, applied the code you suggested but does not click on the item required in the comboBox. I have made some changes to the code..

$pText = "Select User or Groups"

$hListView1 = ControlGetHandle($pText, "", "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:1]")

$cblist=_GUICtrlComboBox_GetList($hListView1)

For $j= 0 to $cblist -1

$cbarr=_GUICtrlComboBox_GetListArray ($hListView1)

sleep(2000)

MsgBox(1, "", _ArrayToString($cbarr, "",1,1))

Msgbox(1,"",$cblist)

Next

Any help is much appreciated.

$cmbview = ControlGetHandle($pText, "", "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:1]")

MsgBox(1,"",$cmbview)

$bb=_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($cmbview,5)

This will get me the selection on other combobox but does not do it for the combobox shown in the attachment. Any ideas

Please use the ControlID # in the ControlGethandle method instead of "[CLASS:ComboBox;INSTANCE:1]", It works for me

[pgv]

$han = ControlGetHandle($pText, "", "0x002E0330")

MsgBox(1,"",$han)

I have chnaged it to the above but it is not giving any msgbox now ....any thing I am missing..

The control id referred to was ID in Summary tab of the Basic window info for the checkbox. eg...ControlGetHandle($pText,"",1061)

as suggested I have changed it

$han = ControlGetHandle($pText,"",1005)

MsgBox(1,"www",$han)

_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($han,6)

but still no luck, the msgbox does not display the handle id

whether you changed the $pText value, it should be "Select user or Group" with reference to the screenshot attached...
