cGetCBItem Returns Text Instead of Strings
Keywords: cGetCBItem
Question:
I have run across an instance where cGetCBItem returns the text in the edit box instead of the strings in the list. In this same instance, cSetCBItem fails.The specific example that I have been working with is trying to set the country code combobox in the 'Make New Connection' dialog for making new Dial-up networking connections. I am using Windows 95, with the old version of Dial-up networking.
If I select the ComboBox control with the mouse before this part of my script rolls around, Both functions work normally.
Answer:
In some cases, rarely used controls don't really exist unless you click on them.Try hitting the combobox with a cClickButton before doing anything else.
Question (Thread continued):
cClickButton does not produce any noticeable change in the behavior of the control. Do you know if sending any other messages, like a WM_ACTIVATE would do anything?Answer:
Might try a cClickButton to activate it, then maybe send it a keystroke like a downarrow.Article ID: W12491
