Get the value from combobox.
Hi Folks,
I have a combo box which is populated with values during runtime. And when user selects a particular value from the combo box i have to parse the value to a function. How can i get the value that user is selecting during runtime.
I have created a property for the combo box in property manager with the name ENVICOMBOBOX with the value 12345.
I have tried out the option CtrlGetCurSel property but no luck 😞
CtrlGetCurSel("CustomDialog", ENVICOMBOBOX, svDrive); .
Please let me know how it can be done?

For Basic MSI, you'll want to call MsiGetProperty with the combo box property to get the selected value.

But how do you populate a combo box at runtime?
