Please start a new thread for this question.  It is completely different from the other questions on this thread.  Also, I am not an expert on Python custom user interface design, so I am not sure I can help.  Please indicate how you created this combobox when you repost.  Are you hosting the combobox using a script tool interface, a tkinter interface, or what? Ok ive done that. Thanks ... View more

Thanks rfairhur24 you are the man!!! Please can you help me with this problem, im trying to drop my pdf output into a nested folder created from my script and using the searchcursor to get attribute values this is my script; fc = "Parcels" field = "LGA" cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in cursor:     row.getValue(field) val = row.getValue(field) print (row.getValue(field)) field = "District" cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in cursor:     row.getValue(field) val1 = row.getValue(field) print (row.getValue(field)) field = "Block_No" cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in cursor:     row.getValue(field) val2 = row.getValue(field) print (row.getValue(field)) field = "Plot_No" cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in cursor:     row.getValue(field) val3 = row.getValue(field) print (row.getValue(field)) outName = str(val) + "_LGA" + "(" + str(val1) + " _Area" + ")" outName1 = "Plot_" + str(val3) + "(" "Block_" + str(val2) + ")" outName2 = "Block_" + str(val2) + "_Plot_" + str(val3) + "_" + str(val1) + "_Area_of_" + str(val) + "_LGA" + ".pdf" arcpy.CreateFolder_management("C:\\ARA_STATE\\", outName) arcpy.CreateFolder_management("C:\\ARA_STATE\\"+ outName,outName1) arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd,"C:\ARA_STATE\TDP_For_" + outName1) my final pdf output is not going into something like this arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd,"C:\ARA_STATE\TDP_For_" + outName,outName1) What do you think? ...

Thank u clthompson for your suggestions, i've been able to create my folders by combining two variables at a time since the create folder function can only take 2 arguments at a time this is my code; >>> outName6 = str(val) + "_LGA" + "(" + str(val1) + " _Area" + ")" >>> outName1 = "Plot_" + str(val3) + "(" "Block_" + str(val3) + ")" >>> arcpy.CreateFolder_management("C:\\ARA_STATE\\", outName6) <Result 'C:\\ARA_STATE\\rin_South_LGA(GRA_Buo_Oho _Area)'> >>> arcpy.CreateFolder_management("C:\\ARA_STATE\\"+ outName6,outName1) <Result 'C:\\ARA_STATE\\rin_South_LGA(GRA_Buo_Oho _Area)\\Plot_9(Block_9)'> My next problem is how to drop my pdf in the last folder, i used this code and got this errror message; >>> outName2 = "TDP_FOR_" + "Block_" + str(val2) + "_Plot_" + str(val3) + "_" + str(val1) + "_Area_of_" + str(val) + "_LGA" + ".pdf" >>> arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd,"C:\\ARA_STATE\\" + outName6,outName1,outName2) Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>   File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\utils.py", line 181, in fn_     return fn(*args, **kw)   File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\mapping.py", line 1133, in ExportToPDF     assert isinstance(data_frame, DataFrame) or (isinstance(data_frame, basestring) and data_frame.lower() == 'page_layout') AssertionError >>> arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd,"C:\\ARA_STATE\\" + outName6,outName1) Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>   File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\utils.py", line 181, in fn_     return fn(*args, **kw)   File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\mapping.py", line 1133, in ExportToPDF     assert isinstance(data_frame, DataFrame) or (isinstance(data_frame, basestring) and data_frame.lower() == 'page_layout') AssertionError What do you think please.

I am trying to pass the users selection into a definition query in an addin combo box python script. Basically, I have a feature class with a field called "SITE". I build a python list from that field and pass it into the combo box items list. The user will choose a value in the combo box box from that list. I want to further pass the users selection into a definition query. You can see in my script below, I just tried to pass the selection into the definition query, but it crashes the whole combo box and toolbar (i.e. when I reinstall my addin, the tool shows up on my toolbar in big red letters "MISSING"). Obviously I am doing something wrong it I believe it's how I'm passing the selection.
