Unable to select a value from a dropdown of windows form using AutoIt

Using the following code

ControlCommand("Test Form", "", "[NAME:ctlMsgQueueCombo]", "ShowDropDown")
ControlSend("Test Form", "", "[NAME:ctlMsgQueueCombo]", "This is my default value (TEST) - First")

or

ControlCommand("Test Form", "", "[NAME:ctlMsgQueueCombo]", "ShowDropDown")
ControlSend("Test Form", "", "[NAME:ctlMsgQueueCombo]", "select", "This is my default value (TEST) - First")

It selects the combo box, but it is not selecting the desired "this is my default value (TEST) - First" from the list. Basically, it is selecting any value that starts with t. For example, the first value is "TMP". So instead of exactly matching it is selecting any first character match. How d开发者_JAVA技巧o I force it to select the exact string from the list?

I also tried using the following code, but nothing seems to work.

WinWaitActive($title)
$Index = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_FindStringExact($hcombo, $sText)
_GUICtrlComboBoxEx_SetCurSel($hcombo, $Index)
or following
WinWaitActive($title)
$Index = _GUICtrlComboBox_FindStringExact($hcombo, $sText)
_GUICtrlComboBox_SelectString($hcombo, $Index)

Right now you are using ControlSend with incorrect parameters. The following will send the string 'select', and the last parameter will be evaluated to 0.

ControlSend("Test Form", "", "[NAME:ctlMsgQueueCombo]", "select", "This is my default value (TEST) - First")

As it expects 1 or 0 as the last parameter). Needless to say it's not what you want.

You should be doing something like SelectString with ControlCommand. You shouldn't have to show the dropdown first:

ControlCommand("Test Form", "", "[NAME:ctlMsgQueueCombo]", "SelectString", "This is my default value (TEST) - First")

I haven't been able to test that, but as long as it's finding the window and the string is correct then it should be fine.
