How can I read the data of a Combo?


Recommended Posts

Trying to make sort of an incremental game for the lols, and here's my problem right now.

Keep in mind I'm a complete newbie at autoit, but I have a pretty good understanding of it, so go easy on me.

I have currently

$gems = GUICreate("Gem Seller", 219, 157, 887, 250)
$SellSelected = GUICtrlCreateButton("Sell Selected", 8, 40, 89, 25)
$Sellall = GUICtrlCreateButton("Sell all", 68, 96, 73, 25)

$Select = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Choose a Gem to sell!", 8, 8, 193, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN, $CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
$gemtype = GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Ruby|Emerald|Sapphire|Topaz|")

$status = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($gemtype)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($status, "You've selected: ")

I've added also a status bar

 

How can I read the data that GUICtrlSetData is selected? I tried

$selGUICtrlRead($gemtype) and it doesn't work.

GUICtrlRead is fine. But you have to read the control. Means:

$sel = GUICtrlRead($Select)

Sorry, I ment it, right now its laid out like this:

$gems = GUICreate("Gem Seller", 219, 157, 887, 250)
$SellSelected = GUICtrlCreateButton("Sell Selected", 8, 40, 89, 25)
$Sellall = GUICtrlCreateButton("Sell all", 68, 96, 73, 25)
$Select = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Choose a Gem to sell!", 8, 8, 193, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN, $CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
$gemtype = GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Ruby|Emerald|Sapphire|Topaz|")
$status = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($gemtype)
$input1 = GUICtrlRead($gemtype)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($status, "You've selected: " & $input1)

 

but it returns as 1, which I'm guessing is from the -1

 

Edit: or no, I followed the $select, but it displays "Choose a gem to sell" not the actual gems. 

 

How can I define what gem is what? I thought about maybe splitting the string?

Until you have not selected an item the default value is being returned.

Is this the whole script you posted? You need to run a loop to wait until the control has been selected.

It's the only part that matters right now, the other parts are way too long and unnecessary, what can I add to make it work and how can I define the strings?

Something like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Local $sComboRead = ""
Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Example", 300, 200)
Local $hComboBox = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Choose a Gem to sell!", 10, 10, 185, 20)
GUICtrlSetData($hComboBox, "Ruby|Emerald|Sapphire|Topaz")
Local $hClose = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 210, 170, 85, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)
; Loop until the user exits.
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $hClose
            ExitLoop
        Case $hComboBox
            $sComboRead = GUICtrlRead($hComboBox)
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "You have selected: " & $sComboRead, 0, $hGUI)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Ooh right, thank you very much, added in

_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($status, "You've selected: " & $Select2) in case and it works perfectly, next question how can I define Topaz, Ruby, etc?

Like

if GUiCtrlRead(Topaz)

Then

CheckAmount()

What do you mean by "define"?

Case $SellSelected ; When the Sell button is pressed check which item to sell.
    $sComboRead = GUICtrlRead($hComboBox)
    If $sComboRead = "xy" Then ...

Something like this?
