Hi guys, I would like to implement the words in GuiCtrlCreateEdit through the choices the GuiCtrlCreateCombo. Each item in the GuiCtrlCreateCombo must contain the words that are to be reported later in the GuiCtrlCreateEdit. I have attached an example , I added just a GuiCtrlCreateCombo , then it will insert more. Thanks for the attention

Hello, Hereby I'd like to ask for the devs proffesional help cause there is something I can not get to work. I have an Combobox containing 3 strings. When I choose one, I'd wish for the 'readonly'editbox to hold some data from each string, a different data. string 1-> GUICtrlEdit /Edit1 : data ; blabla string 2-> GUICtrlEdit /Edit1 : data ; random typin string 3-> GUICtrlEdit /Edit1 : data ; other info Just to give an example I have a hunge it has something to do with Case $Combo1, GuiCtrlSetData and a read command. I shall provide a KodaForm generated code script.au3 below but I'm kinda lost in how to get it done. If only I had the beginning from one of the strings I'd make the ones for the other strings myself. Kind regards Theo Van Der Wal, Frieschepalen, Holland theolonghair.au3

is there a way to tell if the GUICtrlCreateCombo is open or closed (currently being chosen). I have a logic set that reads GUICtrlCreateCombo and then does a database query. I would rather wait until the drop down closes, before the real time query is made instead of cycling though the choices. is there a way to tell if its open or closed for a read?
