combo box answer

[rossati]

Hello

I have a little problem with combo box i.e. I need to capture the choice only when a mouse or enter key are pressed.

Therefore the choice is fired even when the list is traversed by the navigation arrows.

There is the possibility to test if the choice is per keybord enter or mouse click?

 

Thanks

Add a Button with style $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON to your Gui. And listen the Event he fired (Click or Enter).

@rossati you limit the help we can offer when you don't bother posting any code. I am guessing you mean something like this? If I am incorrect, please post code showing what you're trying to do.

;=================Select the Day from the Combo Box with the Enter key===========================

#include<MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

    $LoginForm = GUICreate("Test My Combo Box", 300, 100)
    $cmbBox = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 60, 44, 125, 21)
        GUICtrlSetData($cmbBox,'Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|Sunday')
    $myDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
    Local $aAccelKeys[1][2] = [["{ENTER}", $myDummy]]
    GUISetAccelerators($aAccelKeys)


    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $myDummy
                MsgBox($MB_OK, "Test My Combo Box", "You Selected " & GUICtrlRead($cmbBox))
            EndSwitch
        WEnd

Hello

Thanks to all.

JLogan3o13 your script introduced me some useful features, however does not solve my problem:

I have a great combo (the styles of a word document); from this combo I have to choose one or more styles that is, each chosen from the combo is queued in a text field.

Unfortunately surfing the combo with arrows generates a choice and I don't think there's no way to differentiate DOWN, UP from ENTER  (or click).

@rossati as I mentioned above, probably the best thing you can do to ensure we see exactly what you're trying to do, is to post your code (even if it isn't working the way you want it to). Otherwise, as I seemed to have been above, we're first having to guess at what your intent is and then try and troubleshoot.

Here a fragment rebuild  from a complex form obtained by my form generator.

;================= Try Select Normale and Script ===========================
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
$frm = GUICreate("Test big Combo Box", 260, 180)
$cmbBox = GUICtrlCreateList("", 60, 40, 125, 21)
GUICtrlSetData($cmbBox,'Acronimo HTML|Citazione|Contenuto cornice|Contenuto elenco|Contenuto tabella|Didascalia|Figure|Firma|Indirizzo destinatario' _
                      & '|Indirizzo HTML|Indirizzo mittente|Intestazione|Intestazione messaggio|Intestazione nota|Normale|Normale (Web)|Numero elenco|' _

$txt = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 60, 64, 125, 21)
$cmbFonts = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 60, 90, 125, 21)
GUICtrlSetData($cmbFonts,'Arial|Courier New|Times New Roman|Verdana')
$idBTN = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 85, 145, 80, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
   Switch GUIGetMsg()
   Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE,$idBTN
         MsgBox(0,"",GUICtrlRead($txt))
         ExitLoop
      Case $cmbBox
         GUICtrlSetData($txt, GUICtrlRead($txt) & "," & GUICtrlRead($cmbBox))
   EndSwitch
WEnd

Some words of explication: I need to select one or some styles which are inserted on a text.

It is perfectly possible to choose only what I want as long as I don't use arrows that practically function as the enter key or mouse click  

I think there is no solution with standard library.

please correct your title JLogan3o13  answered at problem with GuiCtrlCreateCombo. I also thout you are using this control. But where is your problem toimplement my advice in your code:

; *** Start added by AutoIt3Wrapper ***
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
; *** End added by AutoIt3Wrapper ***
#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
;================= Try Select Normale and Script ===========================
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
$frm = GUICreate("Test big Combo Box", 260, 180)
$cmbBox = GUICtrlCreateList("", 60, 10, 125, 21)
GUICtrlSetData($cmbBox,'Acronimo HTML|Citazione|Contenuto cornice|Contenuto elenco|Contenuto tabella|Didascalia|Figure|Firma|Indirizzo destinatario' _

$idEnterButon = GUICtrlCreateButton('&OK',190,10,40,21,$BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
$txt = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 60, 64, 125, 21)
$cmbFonts = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 60, 90, 125, 21)
GUICtrlSetData($cmbFonts,'Arial|Courier New|Times New Roman|Verdana')
$idBTN = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 85, 145, 80, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

   Switch GUIGetMsg()

      Case $idEnterButon
         GUICtrlSetData($txt, GUICtrlRead($txt) & "," & GUICtrlRead($cmbBox))
   EndSwitch
WEnd

JLogan3o13 way to solve is the same easy way to adapt in your script.

But for user comfort using  _GUICtrlListBox_Create  is the better solution. This allows user to make multiple selections. So:  about _GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItemsText and test its example.

Thanks AutoBert, your suggestion is a good compromise.
