@zipit Thanks mate, that's done it!

Hey, fairly basic question but I'm pretty new to this and struggling to solve it, I'm trying to write a save script in python, I've filled a combo box with a list of directories, I need to access the string of the currently selected value to link to a second combobox to search for the next folder in the chain, how would I go about doing this? in Houdini I have the same tool working using 'self.ui.jobID.currentText() ' is there a similar function in c4d?

 self.AddComboBox(J_NAME, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, initw=300, inith=10)
 self.AddChild(J_NAME,0,'______') 
        self.jobs = 'C:/Users/Olly/Downloads/'
        if os.path.isdir(self.jobs):
        
            # add only directories to list
            i = 0
            dirlist = next(os.walk(self.jobs))[1]
            dirlist.sort()
            for d in dirlist:
                
                if os.path.isdir(self.jobs+d):
                    i += 1                   
                    self.AddChild(J_NAME, i, d)

Thanks!
