Cheat Engine

hi. i have a trainer for one racing game and i keep adding stuff, trainer gets so huge that i have no room for stuff anymore, so i want to make sets (like super acceleration) or (super high speed) and put them into a combobox, so people can click on the dropdown menu and select a preset they want
but i don't understand how combobox works, can someone please give me an example based on my current lua?

I have attached a screenshot of my current setup.
what i want to do is this
=get all gear ratios into dropdown box (combobox) with preset values
= so instead of my editbox at end i would have a preset value, i assume its the "Text" part right? i just replace it with value?

Set the style of the comboboxes to csDropDownList
Click on the items field in the property editor and click on the ... button
Fill in all the options in the items box that shows
When done, set the ItemIndex to 0 (first item in the list)

To get the selection you can get the text, or the ItemIndex to get which option is selected. (I recommend itemindex)

thanks for quick reply, however im still bit confused.
do you mean "OnGetItems" and then press ... ?
if i do that, i get this in lua

the onSelect event is recommended, but i think that you want to only do something when you press a button

e.g:
[combobox] [activate]

to get the itemindex (the selected item) use combobox_getItemIndex
e.g:

ah thanks guys, im sure i can work something out from these examples.

what im trying to do, is just set a value whenever you select something from the list. no need to show a message or anything else.
i click on the dropdown list and as soon as i select something, that value gets written to my address. thats all.
I will test these and post back whatever i got it working or not.

EDIT:

hmm nope, im getting errors.
i want the cheat to activate as soon as i choose it from dropdown menu (can be on button press too).
but again im stuck with syntaxes.

here's what i tried:

Anyway, put this...

thanks, at least im not getting errors anymore when clicking on the combobox, but it opens up as empty.
sry im still confused, i filled out addresses, but that's about all i understand right now.

3 things i don't understand:

1. Where do i put the CEEdit and why do i need it? how does it work exactly?

2. where do i write the values that will be written to my address? (each cheat in list will have different value obviously and different title)

3. where can i specify the title of the cheat that is shown in the list? my list will have about 30-50 entries and each needs a name, hiding the value. so when i click on like "Cheat1" then it writes some value to my specified address.

EDIT:
sry if i confused you in my 1st post, i don't want to see editbox at all, i want values to be preset by me, so users cant edit any values, they simply select them from box like so:

>combobox<
cheat1
cheat2
cheat3
cheat4

and each of those, will have a hidden, preset value (hidden as it will not be seen by users).
those values make no sense, so they dont need to see them.
i want to set them and list them as cheat1, cheat2 ..etc

[daspamer]

Hmm so basically you want to have a Cheat list in the ComboBox,
And when user picks for example 'speedhack' write to some address a value.

[mordax]

yes exactly. i think i was bit confusing in my first post.
game has so many different things to choose from, that making button for each would require a lot bigger resolution than 1920x1080 .. so i was hoping to solve this by using a simple dropdown box with list of cheats in it.

EDIT:

i got it working. friend helped me a little, now i understand the concept of this.
thank you all for giving examples, he managed to get it working thanks to these examples :)

if you have many options it that list, you can use Lua table (array):
