$did

You can get the settings and values of controls in a dialog by using the $did() dialog id identifier with the following formats and properties as appropriate to the control to which you are referring.
$did(name,id)
$did(name,id,N)
If used in the on dialog event, name is optional.

The following $did() properties are supported:

text	 returns line or Nth line $did(id) is same as $did(id).text
len	 returns length of line or length of Nth line
lines	 returns number of lines
sel	 returns Line Number of Nth selected line if N is 0, returns number of selected lines
seltext	 returns selected text in an editbox or first selected item in a listbox
selstart returns select start character in editbox line
selend	 returns select end character in editbox line
edited	 returns $true if text in editbox was changed
state	 returns 0 = off, 1 = on, and 2 = indeterminate
next	 returns id of next control in tab key order
prev	 returns id of previous control in tab key order
visible	 returns $true if the control is visible, otherwise $false
enabled	 returns $true if the control is enabled, otherwise $false
isid	 returns $true if id exists in the dialog, otherwise $false
csel	 returns line number of Nth checked box in a listcb control if N is 0, returns number of checked lines

You can access the edit control in a combobox by using 0 as the N value.
