Combobox problems? doh!

[mrdude]

Ok sorry about this noob question but it's been a long time since I used apms.

I have a combo box with 15 items and the item data is numbered 1,2,3 etc.

this code is not working for me:

result = ComboBox.GetSelected("ComboBox1");
data = ComboBox.GetItemData("ComboBox1", result);

if data == 1 then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here1.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
elseif == 2 then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here2.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

Any idea why it's not working? - obviously i have missed out 3-15 but you get the gist.

maybe ?

result = ComboBox.GetSelected("ComboBox1");
data = ComboBox.GetItemData("ComboBox1", result);

if data == 1 then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here1.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
elseif data == 2 then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here2.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

well unless your data is numbers, you would want

result = ComboBox.GetSelected("ComboBox1");
data = ComboBox.GetItemData("ComboBox1", result);

if result == 1 then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here1.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
elseif  result == 2 then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here2.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

If your data is numbers you need:

result = ComboBox.GetSelected("ComboBox1");
data = ComboBox.GetItemData("ComboBox1", result);

if result == "1" then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here1.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
elseif  result ==  "2" then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here2.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

AMS returns the data as a string, it doesn't know it's a number. You can use the String.ToNumber() function as well.

Doh, how did i miss that, im slipping!

this WILL work (apply some lua)

result = ComboBox.GetSelected("ComboBox1");
data = tonumber(ComboBox.GetItemData("ComboBox1", result));

if data == 1 then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here1.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
elseif  data == 2 then
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Your message here2.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end
