Selecting my Option from a Combobox

[afzalw]

I am using Autoit to automate another software.  I am looking to create a piece of code which can select the option from a combo box.  I know what option I want to select and I have stored it in a string but nothing seems to be working for me. 

I am able to click on the Control by using this code.

ControlClick("Import/Export Table Name", "","[NAME:cmbTableName]");

This is what I was thinking but doesn't work for me.

ControlCommand("Import/Export Table Name", "", "[NAME:cmbTableName]", "SelectString", $MyOptionName)

 

If it helps: The option name that I want to select is also stored in clipboard.

Any comments on what am I missing here will be appreciated.

Thanks

Can you explain how should I use this.  I am not creating any GUI, I am working on another software and NAME:cmTableName  is the name of combo box in the other software.

I to would be interested to know how Accelerator keys could help here. Are you sure you posted in the right thread?
