Post subject: Help With Dropdown List and Saving

I'm having a hard time with Dropdown Lists

What I'm trying to do is to be able to select any letter on the list
Ex: A|B|C|D
Save the letter chosen to an Ini File,
Then, next time I open the program have it choose as well as show the previously chosen letter.
Can somebody show me how its done in code?
It will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Rusty,
here some hints for your request.
Here it goes: Initialize your DDL (drop down list)

Code:

Gui, Add, DDL, vmyDDL, A|B|C

Now make your choice by clicking onto a value of your DDL
At programme's ende write the currently chosen value to an .INI-file

Code:

Gui, Submit, Nohide
; IniWrite, Value, Filename, Section, Key ; look for it in the manual

At next programme start read the value from your .INI-file

Code:

;IniRead, OutputVar, Filename, Section, Key ; look for it in the manual

and put your DDL to the read value

Code:

GuiControl, Choose, myDDL, %variableFilledFromInifile%

That's it!
Regards,
Klaus
