CB_FINDSTRING using SendMessage problem
 

Hello,
I am having trouble searching for a string in a combobox using winmessages.nsh
I must be doing something wrong because every time it just returns -1. I am not sure where i am going wrong. Here is some code to try it on...

code:


Name test

OutFile test.exe

XPStyle on

!include nsDialogs.nsh

!include "WinMessages.nsh"

Page custom GUI

Page instfiles





var /global testbutton

var /global COMBOBOX





Function GUI



	nsDialogs::Create 1018





	${NSD_CreateButton} 0 190 30% 12u "test button"

	pop $testbutton

	${NSD_OnClick} $testbutton testbutton





	${NSD_CreateComboBox} 0 30 80% 12u "test"

	pop $COMBOBOX

	${NSD_CB_AddString} $COMBOBOX "test"

	${NSD_CB_SelectString}  $COMBOBOX "test"

	

nsDialogs::Show

FunctionEnd





Function testbutton



StrCpy $R0 "test"

SendMessage $COMBOBOX ${CB_FINDSTRING} -1 $R0 $1

messagebox mb_ok "$1"



FunctionEnd

Many thanks if you have any help! :)

With SendMessage you need to prefix string parameters with "STR:".

Example:

code:
Function testbutton



StrCpy $R0 "test"

SendMessage $COMBOBOX ${CB_FINDSTRING} -1 "STR:$R0" $1

messagebox mb_ok "$1"



FunctionEnd

thank you so much :)
