Combo Selection

[strik3r0475]

I want to select an item in the first combo box and then use that to determine what will be available

for selection in the second combo box.

For example, the first como box has a list of states. You select a state and depending what state

you select, different cities or zip codes for the selected state will be available in the second box.

if you use the beta you can look at:

_GUICtrlComboResetContent

_GUICtrlComboaddstring

this is all you need to do what you want

have fun

Here, take a look at this:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
Local $ZipCodes[51]
Local $States = 'Alabama|Alaska|Arizona|Arkansas|California|Colorado|Connecticut|Delaware|District of Columbia|Florida|Georgia|Hawaii|Idaho|Illinois|' _
        & 'Indiana|Iowa|Kansas|Kentucky|Lousiana|Main|Maryland|Massachusetts|Michigan|Minnesota|Mississippi

|Missouri|Montana|Nebraska|Nevada|' _
        & 'New Hampshire|New Jersey|New Mexico|New York|North Carolina|North Dakota|Ohio|Oklahoma|Oregon|Pennsylvania|Rhode Island|South Carolina' _
        & 'South Dakota|Tennessee|Texas|Utah|Vermont|Virginia|WashingTon|West Virginia|Wisconsin|Wyoming'
$ZipCodes[1] = '11111|22222|'
$ZipCodes[2] = '33333|44444|'
Local $StatesArray = StringSplit($States, '|'), $Combo[3]

$MainGUI = GUICreate('State And Zip', 300, 200, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$Combo[1] = GUICtrlCreateCombo('Choose Your State', 30, 30, 240, 21, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST, $WS_VSCROLL))
$Combo[2] = GUICtrlCreateCombo('Choose Your Zip Code', 30, 81, 240, 21, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST, $WS_VSCROLL))
GUICtrlSetData($Combo[1], $States)
$Button_3 = GUICtrlCreateButton('OK', 80, 140, 130, 40)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Or $msg = $Button_3
            Exit
        Case $msg = $Combo[1]
            For $x = 1 To UBound($StatesArray) - 1
                If StringInStr(GUICtrlRead($Combo[1]), $StatesArray[$x]) Then
                    GUICtrlSetData($Combo[2], '')
                    GUICtrlSetData($Combo[2], 'Choose Your Zip Code|' & $ZipCodes[$x], 'Choose Your Zip Code')
                EndIf
            Next
    EndSelect
WEnd

Might get you started...

Edit: Just noticed that my copy and paste must have screwed up, it was missing 2 states and something looked wrong (Was missing Arkansas and Indiana).
