Sets the selection in a ListBox, ComboBox or Tab control to be the Nth item.
ControlChooseIndex N, Control , WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText
Type: Integer
The index of the item, where 1 is the first item, 2 is the second, etc. To deselect all entries in a ListBox or ComboBox, specify 0.
Type: String, Integer or Object
The control's ClassNN, text or HWND, or an object with a Hwnd
property. For details, see The Control Parameter.
Type: String, Integer or Object
If each of these is blank or omitted, the Last Found Window will be used. Otherwise, specify for WinTitle a window title or other criteria to identify the target window and/or for WinText a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility).
ExcludeTitle and ExcludeText can be used to exclude one or more windows by their title or text. Their specification is similar to WinTitle and WinText, except that ExcludeTitle does not recognize any criteria other than the window title.
Window titles and text are case-sensitive. By default, hidden windows are not detected and hidden text elements are detected, unless changed with DetectHiddenWindows and DetectHiddenText; however, when using pure HWNDs, hidden windows are always detected regardless of DetectHiddenWindows. By default, a window title can contain WinTitle or ExcludeTitle anywhere inside it to be a match, unless changed with SetTitleMatchMode.
A TargetError is thrown if the window or control could not be found, or if the control's class name does not contain "Combo", "List" or "Tab".
An Error or OSError is thrown if the change could not be applied.
To select all items in a multi-select listbox, follow this example:
PostMessage(0x0185, 1, -1, "ListBox1", WinTitle) ; Select all listbox items. 0x0185 is LB_SETSEL.
Unlike GuiControl.Choose(), this function raises a Change or DoubleClick event.
To improve reliability, a delay is done automatically after each use of this function. That delay can be changed via SetControlDelay or by assigning a value to A_ControlDelay. For details, see SetControlDelay remarks.
