Let's say I have 10 combobox and 10 items in each.

1- If one item in a combobox is selected, I don't want it to be selectable in another combobox. (Or if it is, remove the duplicate one)

2- When I click on button, I want 10 msgboxes to show, and each item showing in each msgbox in order they are selected. (from combobox1 to combobox10)

I'm confused whether to use select or switch or other loops.

SaeidN,

You might find this thread of interest. If you produce some runnable code to illustrate what you want to do I would be happy to develop something along those lines for you.

Thank you, that was a good guide. This code is a good one, but I don't want to be removed from the list, I want when a duplicate option is selected, the old one to get unselected from combobox.

I have this code. When I click the button, I want the selected items to run in order they are selected. I have a number from 1 to 9 in front of each, which means wait for 1-9 sec, then run the next one.

I appreciate your help

I want when a duplicate option is selected, the old one to get unselected from combobox

Is this the behaviour you wish to see - any previous selections of the same app or order are cleared: 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>

#include <Array.au3>

Global $iCount = 5

Global $sCombo_Data = "|Notepad|Paint|Calc|IE|AutoIt" ; Note use of leading "|" so that previous loads are cleared
Global $sCombo_Order = "|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9"
Global $aCombo_App[$iCount], $aCombo_Place[$iCount]
Global $iStyle = BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN, $CBS_AUTOHSCROLL)


$Form1 = GUICreate("RunProgs", 373, 283, 192, 124)

For $i = 0 To $iCount - 1
    $aCombo_App[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 24, 40 + (32 * $i), 145, 25, $iStyle)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $sCombo_Data)
    $aCombo_Place[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 200, 40 + (32 * $i), 145, 25, $iStyle)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $sCombo_Order)
Next

$RunBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run selected in order", 112, 216, 131, 41)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $RunBtn

        Case Else
            For $i = 0 To $iCount -1
                ; Check if App combo
                If $nMsg = $aCombo_App[$i] Then
                    ; Recent app selection
                    $sChosen = GUICtrlRead($nMsg)
                    ; Now check all other combos and clear them if the same thing selected
                    For $j = 0 To $iCount - 1
                        If $j = $i Then
                            ; Do nothing
                        Else
                            ; Same content as recent selection
                            If GUICtrlRead($aCombo_App[$j]) = $sChosen Then
                                ; Clear the current combo selection
                                GUICtrlSetData($aCombo_App[$j], $sCombo_Data)
                            EndIf
                        EndIf
                    Next
                ElseIf $nMsg = $aCombo_Place[$i] Then
                    ; Recent order selection
                    $sChosen = GUICtrlRead($nMsg)
                    ; Now check all other combos and clear them if the same thing selected
                    For $j = 0 To $iCount - 1
                        If $j = $i Then
                            ; Do nothing
                        Else
                            ; Same content as recent selection
                            If GUICtrlRead($aCombo_Place[$j]) = $sChosen Then
                                ; Clear the current combo selection
                                GUICtrlSetData($aCombo_Place[$j], $sCombo_Order)
                            EndIf
                        EndIf
                    Next
                EndIf
            Next

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Or do you mean that once an option is chosen it is removed from the other combos options? 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>

Global $iCount = 5

Global $sCombo_Data = "|Notepad|Paint|Calc|IE|AutoIt" ; Note use of leading "|" so that previous loads are cleared
Global $sCombo_Order = "|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9"
Global $aCombo_App[$iCount], $aCombo_Place[$iCount], $aCombo_App_Data[$iCount], $aCombo_Place_Data[$iCount]
Global $iStyle = BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN, $CBS_AUTOHSCROLL)

For $i = 0 To $iCount - 1
    $aCombo_App_Data[$i] = $sCombo_Data
    $aCombo_Place_Data[$i] = $sCombo_Order
Next

$Form1 = GUICreate("RunProgs", 373, 283, 192, 124)

; Initial fill
For $i = 0 To $iCount - 1
    $aCombo_App[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 24, 40 + (32 * $i), 145, 25, $iStyle)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $sCombo_Data)
    $aCombo_Place[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 200, 40 + (32 * $i), 145, 25, $iStyle)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $sCombo_Order)
Next

$RunBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run selected in order", 112, 216, 131, 41)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

            Exit

            For $i = 0 To $iCount -1
                ; Check if App combo
                If $nMsg = $aCombo_App[$i] Then
                    ; Recent app selection
                    $sChosen = GUICtrlRead($nMsg)
                    ; Now remove from all other combos
                    For $j = 0 To $iCount - 1

                            ; And reload combo
                            GUICtrlSetData($aCombo_App[$j], $aCombo_App_Data[$j], $sCurrent)

                            ; Remove chosen item and trim trailing "|"
                            $aCombo_Place_Data[$j] = StringTrimRight(StringReplace($sContent, "|" & $sChosen & "|", "|"), 1)
                            ; Read current setting
                            $sCurrent = GUICtrlRead($aCombo_Place[$j])
                            ; And reload combo
                            GUICtrlSetData($aCombo_Place[$j], $aCombo_Place_Data[$j], $sCurrent)

The first one is exacty what I want. Thank you.

How can I get the Run button to work? Should I use switch? Cause I want all selected programs to run with the defined sleep between them.

SaeidN,

When you reply, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - I know what I wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily.

As to the "Run" button - what have you tried that has not worked? I would have thought a loop would have been the way to go rather then a Switch, but then you know best what you want.

Sorry about quote.

Edit: Ok, I did it, is it an efficiet way of doing it? Or there is a better way? I just wrote it for two of the apps for now. 

$z= 0
            While $z < 5

                If GUICtrlRead($aCombo_App[$z]) = "Calc" Then
                    Run ("calc.exe")
                    Sleep (GUICtrlRead($aCombo_Place[$z]) * 1000)
                EndIf

                If GUICtrlRead($aCombo_App[$z]) = "Notepad" Then
                    Run ("notepad.exe")
                    Sleep (GUICtrlRead($aCombo_Place[$z]) * 1000)
                EndIf
                $z= $z+1
            WEnd

Edit 2: I removed the following part, cause it's a sleep time and ok to duplicate in boxes. 

ElseIf $nMsg = $aCombo_Place[$i] Then
                    ; Recent order selection
                    $sChosen = GUICtrlRead($nMsg)
                    ; Now check all other combos and clear them if the same thing selected
                    For $j = 0 To $iCount - 1
                        If $j = $i Then
                            ; Do nothing
                        Else
                            ; Same content as recent selection
                            If GUICtrlRead($aCombo_Place[$j]) = $sChosen Then
                                ; Clear the current combo selection
                                GUICtrlSetData($aCombo_Place[$j], $sCombo_Order)
                            EndIf
                        EndIf
                    Next
