Putting more than one item in combo box

[Abo-Mota]

I am new to programing. How can i put more than one item in combo box

I use this fumction GuiCtrlSetData() but it puts only one item

[AutoBert]

Use the separator (standard = '|') to add more than one item in combo box.

 

; Add additional items to the combobox.
    GUICtrlSetData($idComboBox, "Item 2|Item 3", "Item 2")

Just test the example script in help for GUICtrlCreateCombo.

@Abo-Mota as is always the case, there are multiple ways to skin the proverbial cat with AutoIt. If you have a large amount of text you want to add to the combobox, in addition to AutoBert's suggestion you can also add an array, like so:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Local $hGUI = GuiCreate("Test", 300, 400)
Local $hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 100, 40)
Local $aArray[7] = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday" ]
GUICtrlSetData($hCombo, _ArrayToString($aArray, "|"))

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
