royalmarine Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Not sure if im going about this the right way, im trying to make a small gui, that gives me a drop down box, with several websites listed. when i select one, and then click "open web site" button, it loads firefox, and goes to the website. its working, however, i dont want to see the full web address in the drop down box, only some of it. e.g instead of "www.hotmail.com" how can i make it show "hotmail" any help would be great! #include <GuiConstantsEx.au3> Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1) _Main() Func _Main() Local $website, $web, $msg, $data GUICreate("WebSites", 191, 157, (@DesktopWidth - 191) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 157) / 2) $website = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 30, 60, 130, 21) GUICtrlSetData($website, "www.hotmail.com|www.youtube.com") $web= GUICtrlCreateButton("Open Web Site", 30, 90, 130, 20) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $msg = $web $data = GUICtrlRead($website) ShellExecute("firefox.exe", GUICtrlRead($website)) EndSelect WEnd Exit EndFunc ;==>_Main Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulano Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Well, there's two ways of going about it:The first, and most flexible, is to have an array structure (either a two dimensional array, or two arrays that are kept in sync) that have the address you want to go to and the text you want displayed.The second is to use regular expressions to strip off a set bit of text from the front and back ('http://www' and '.com' in this case) and then restore them later when the time comes to spawn firefox.Personally, I prefer a hybrid approach that would look something like this:Global Const $WEBSITE_NORMAL = 1 Global Const $WEBSITE_NO_WWW = 2 $someArray[3][2] = [ _ ['somewebsite', $WEBSITE_NORMAL], _ ;turns into http://www.somewebsite.com ['someothersite', $WEBSITE_NO_WWW], _ ;turns into http://someothersite.com ['lastwebsite', 'http://www.lastwebsite.com/mywebpage']] ;turns into stored value (http://www.lastwebsite.com/mywebpage)Hopefully this will give you some ideas.Edit: This is non-tested, incomplete, semi-psudocode. It will probably not compile.

l3ill Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Another possibility would be something like this: (this is a ccp of some code I am working on just change it to fit your situation) expandcollapse popup$msg = "" $gui = GUICreate("Ship to:", 220, 120) ; creates a centered dialog box $button_ok = GUICtrlCreateButton("Send", 10, 80, 100) $button_cancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 110, 80, 100) $Combo_1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Select", 10, 40, 200, 21) GUICtrlSetData($Combo_1, "|Grunstadt|Stuttgart|Mainz|") GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Grunstadt") GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select Receiving Facility", 10, 10) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $button_cancel Or $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE GUIDelete() Return 0 Case $msg = $button_ok $Menustate = GUICtrlRead($Combo_1) If $Menustate = "Grunstadt" Then $var1 = "1342560" $var2 = "7014290600" ExitLoop EndIf If $Menustate = "Stuttgart" Then $var1 = "1342570" $var2 = "7014291800" ExitLoop EndIf If $Menustate = "Mainz" Then $var1 = "1342561" $var2 = "7014290900" ExitLoop EndIf EndSelect WEnd GUIDelete() ;end code for popup Facility Selector--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;Here some code open FF and send vars you will have to insert some code here to tell it what to do with the chosen vars.
