Hello
It is a question about the Gui command.
Can't the item containing "|" be made?
DropDownList / ComboBox / ListBox.
"`|" was not effective.

Yes. - But its good that you haven't tested it yourself! Otherwise your box would have been exploded - and - Jonny would have announced to come for a visit next week. Shocked

He might have tested it. And I'm sure he did. And his question states that he has read the manual.
AND he is right. It would be nice to have the ability to escape pipes. Then the "poormen's syslist32" is easier to mimic (having pipes as vertical line segments).

Hi,

it seems not to work, I've tried a few combinations. But maybe the new option T for tab stops may help? (Version 1.0.30+)

Getting a literral pipe character in a listbox doesn't seem possible: I've tried the ACS code, {|}, pipe-as-variable, double/tripe pipes. Maybe Chris needs to come up with a pipe-escape chracter Question

Thanks, this is already on the to-do list as suggested at http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9202#9202

In the meantime, you could try using Control Add to do it, though there's likely to be some difficulties.

Thank you, with control Add | was able to be included in the item.
And I am sorry. Was it a known problem?
