Running a combobox in a function

[hozdaman]

Hi,

I am a complete beginner at this so please excuse my ignorance. First I would like AutoIT is great I have been studying it pretty hard for the last month or so...

I now have some confidence in starting to write some of my own scripts. I am trying to write one that has a GUI and when you press the button it goes into a combobox. Here is what I have so far and I wanted to make sure I was on the right track or completely off my rocker. Thanks for your help in advance.

;Button 1; windows utilities

GUICtrlCreateButton("Windows Utilities",100,210,200,30

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,'win_util');opens windows utilities combobox when button is pressed

;Windows Utilities function

Func win_util()

GUISetState(@SW_Hide);hide the GUI while function is running

$combobox=GUICtrlCreateCombo("Defrag",10,10,120,20)

GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Disk Cleanup|Calculator")

;loop to check for GUI events

While 1

$guimsg=GUIGetMsg()

select

Case $guimsg=$button

MsgBox(0,"Run" & GUICtrlRead($combobox))

select

Case (GUICtrlRead($combobox) = 'Defrag'

Run ("%SystemRoot%\system32\dfrg.msc"

Exit

Case (GUICtrlRead($combobox)= 'Disk Cleanup'

Run ("%SystemRoot%\system32\cleanmgr.exe")

Exit

Case (GUICtrlRead($combobox)= 'Calculator'

Run ("%SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe")

Exit

EndSelect

Case $guimsg=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

EndSelect

WEnd

EndFunc
