Select another item in my own Combobox

[mitchito]

Good morning,

I've been checking the help file and many forums but I haven't found the command to do what I need.

I have a Combobox in my own GUI and once a function begins I need it select another option in my own Combobox. All options are already set in the Combobox.

Thank you very much for helping me

Some code would be helpful

I found this looking for the answer myself. I've found this under GUICtrlSetData()

For Combo or List control :

If the "data" corresponds to an already existing entry it is set as the default.

If the "data" starts with GUIDataSeparatorChar or is an empty string "" the previous list is destroyed.

Ok, I solved my problem but thank you anyway.

I am writing you here the solution I used:

Global $items, $msg, $comb, $bot1, $bot2

GUICreate("GUI combo", 180, 110)

$items = "|item1|item2|item3"

$comb = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 160)

GUICtrlSetData(-1, $items, "item3")

$bot1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton('Selecciona "item1"', 10, 40)

$bot2 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Selecciona segundo elemento", 10, 70)

GUISetState()

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $msg

case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

case $bot1

;GUICtrlSetData($comb, $items, "item1")

GUICtrlSendMsg($comb, $CB_SELECTSTRING, -1, "item1") ; Selecciona por texto

case $bot2

GUICtrlSendMsg($comb, $CB_SETCURSEL, 1, 0) ; Selecciona por posición (0 = primer elemento)

EndSwitch

WEnd

I'm not sure you got the GUICtrlSetData function to work properly, I assumed not based on the line you had previously commented out. Here is an example of how it should work to select.

Global $items, $msg, $comb, $bot1, $bot2
GUICreate("GUI combo", 180, 110)
$items = "|item1|item2|item3"
$comb = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 160)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, $items, "item3")
$bot1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton('Selecciona "item1"', 10, 40)
$bot2 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Selecciona segundo elemento", 10, 70)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        case $bot1
            GUICtrlSetData($comb, "item1")
        case $bot2
            GUICtrlSendMsg($comb, $CB_SETCURSEL, 1, 0) ; Selecciona por posición (0 = primer elemento)
    EndSwitch
WEnd
