[Solved] Selecting a Combobox programmatically

[Gykonik]

Hello, is there a way, how I can select a combobox directly, after it gets displayed? (Via a window and if the window shows up the combobox should be selected, so the user can type in things directly)...?

You can call activate() on each window: http://static.cegui.org.uk/docs/0.8.5/c ... 8ed88491e5
To have a function calling activate() on a child window automatically when the parent window e.g. gets focus, you need to register a proper event listenener on the parent and call activate() from within the event callback.

Thanks, and do I have to deactivate it again, if a player has clicked the Exit (x) key of the window?

And is there a way, how I can say, that if I activate the box the cursor should jump to the last position of my string?

Subscribe to the activation events and jump with the selection to the last position in the string inside the evend handler you write.
