Hi, I have a quite complex script and now I would like to define the initial parameters and directories via a GUI. The first question is: Which GUI mode is best for my purposes? I don't understand in detail what the difference is. I tend to OnEvent mode as I only need the GUI at the beginning. Edit: Ok, only in loop mode the file selection works. One question solved. But how do I pause my script and start it after I am done with the GUI? This is my code so far: #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <File.au3> #include <FileConstants.au3> #include <StringConstants.au3> #include <Date.au3> #include <Array.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Local $AutoIt_GUI = GUICreate("ATCOR4 - Initial Settings", 500, 400) ; title, width and height Local $idLabel0 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Wellcome to this ATCOR4 automation. Please choose your preferences.", 30, 10) ; text and position (left, top) Local $idButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("*.meta file", 30, 50, 60) Local $idLabel1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("select the meta file with start and end time", 120, 55, 300, 60) Local $idButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("*.pos file", 30, 80, 60); name, position and width Local $idLabel2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("select the pos file with flight geometry", 120, 85, 300, 60) Local $idCombo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Operation Type", 30, 150, 100) GUICtrlSetData($idCombo1, "GUI|.inn file", "Operation Type") Global $OperationMode = '"' & GUICtrlRead($idCombo1) & '"' GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; display this GUI Local $idMsg = 0 ; In this message loop we use variables to keep track of changes to the GUI controls While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Exit ;Case $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE ;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Dialog minimized", 2) ;Case $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE ;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Dialog restored", 2) Case $idButton1 Local $MetaOpenDialog = FileOpenDialog("Select the meta file...", @ScriptDir & "\", "Meta (*.meta)") $metaPath = $MetaOpenDialog GUICtrlSetData($idLabel1, $MetaOpenDialog) Case $idButton2 Local $PosOpenDialog = FileOpenDialog("Select the pos file...", @ScriptDir & "\", "Pos (*.pos)") $posPath = $PosOpenDialog GUICtrlSetData($idLabel2, $PosOpenDialog) EndSwitch WEnd Thanks in advance for any hints and suggestions (the shorter the code the better).
