Not able to select a value form combobox

[Gokul]

Hi,

My application have a combobox with values 'Test', 'Test1' and 'Test3' in it. But, when i give the below script the dropdown list is shown but 'Test1' is not selected from the dropdown list of the combobox.

ControlCommand("Title", "", "[NAME:controlname]", "ShowDropDown")
ControlCommand("Title", "", "[NAME:controlname]", "SelectString", 'Test1')

How to select and set a value from the dropdown list to combobox.

Gokul,

  Not really clear on what your going for...

If this is your own GUI you dont need ControlCommand to select & manipulate items rather something like:

_GUICtrlComboBox_SetEditSel  etc...

Iam new to Autoit. Can you give me a sample code on how to use _GUICtrlCombobox_SetEditSel.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiComboBox.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$Debug_CB = False ; Check ClassName being passed to ComboBox/ComboBoxEx functions, set to True and use a handle to another control to see it work

Global $iMemo

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $aSel, $hCombo

    ; Create GUI
    GUICreate("ComboBox Set Edit Sel", 400, 296)
    $hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 2, 2, 396, 296)
    $iMemo = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 2, 32, 396, 266, 0)
    GUICtrlSetFont($iMemo, 9, 400, 0, "Courier New")
    GUISetState()

    ; Add files
    _GUICtrlComboBox_BeginUpdate($hCombo)
    _GUICtrlComboBox_AddDir($hCombo, @WindowsDir & "\*.exe")
    _GUICtrlComboBox_EndUpdate($hCombo)

    ; Select Item
    _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hCombo, 2)

    ; Set Edit Sel
    _GUICtrlComboBox_SetEditSel($hCombo, 0, 4)

    ; Get Edit Sel
    $aSel = _GUICtrlComboBox_GetEditSel($hCombo)
    MemoWrite(StringFormat("Edit Sel: %d - %d", $aSel[0], $aSel[1]))

    ; Loop until user exits
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>_Main

; Write a line to the memo control
Func MemoWrite($sMessage)
    GUICtrlSetData($iMemo, $sMessage & @CRLF, 1)
EndFunc   ;==>MemoWrite

Autoit help is user friendly. try it out i am also new to autoit

Try using

$hWnd=ControlGetHandle("Title", "", "[NAME:controlname]")
_GUICtrlComboBox_SelectString($hWnd, "Test1")

And also looks like the dropdown item "Test1" is not specified properly in your first post. "Test1" should be put inside double quotes not single.

ControlCommand("Title", "", "[NAME:controlname]", "SelectString", "Test1")
