Easier/Faster way to do this?

[Wb-FreeKill 0]

Is there an easier and faster way to do this, cuz when you have about 10 of these in a loop, to hide/show the different buttons when you select a menu in the TREEVIEW.. every time you select a new TreeviewItem, it have to hide all the other buttons form the previus, can i do it in a better way @ less cpu usage?

Func PressList()
    If $msg = $generalitem Then
            GUICtrlSetState($LogEdit,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($FilesLogEdit,$GUI_HIDE)
            For $i = 1 to 14
            GUICtrlSetState ($Shutdwn[$i],$GUI_HIDE)
            Next
            For $i = 0 to 14
            GUICtrlSetState ($Windowmng[$i],$GUI_HIDE)
            Next
            For $i = 1 to 13
            GUICtrlSetState ($Mousemng[$i],$GUI_HIDE)
            Next
            For $i = 1 to 12
            GUICtrlSetState ($MessageBoxes[$i],$GUI_HIDE)
            Next
            For $i = 1 to 20
            GUICtrlSetState ($OtherStuff[$i],$GUI_HIDE)
            Next
            For $i = 1 to 14
            GUICtrlSetState ($InternetX[$i],$GUI_HIDE)
            Next
            For $i = 1 to 6
            GUICtrlSetState ($chat[$i],$GUI_HIDE)
            Next
            For $i = 1 to 15
            GUICtrlSetState ($h1[$i],$GUI_HIDE)
            Next
            For $i = 1 to 15
            GUICtrlSetState ($1[$i],$GUI_HIDE)
            Next
    EndIf
EndFunc

Dam lots of controls - well normally I would do like this as an example...

Put all control IDs into a multidimentional array like this

Group[Control group,2,3... etc.][the Controls,2,3,4... etc.]

Then put in the splitter variable into a string like $split = 14 14 13 12 20....etc. and split it into an array with...

$sp = StringSplit($splitter) then you got the spot to split to a new array as $sp[1] would be the first target etc...

FOR $a = 1 FOR 11 // 11 groups

FOR $b = 1 TO $sp[$a]

GUICtrlSetState (Group[$a][$b],$GUI_HIDE)

Next

Next

Well something like this would do...

Hey Kåre, i see your from copenhagen too well, im from Amager.. nice to see Danish people in here!

I understand what you explained, but not exatcly how to do it.. i se the structure in it, but this:

FOR $a = 1 FOR 11 // 11 groups

FOR $b = 1 TO $sp[$a]

Confuses me

Hallå well I keep on in english, Naa it was just an example and I was not that correct...

$split = 14 14 13 12 20....etc // How many controls in the rows as string

then AutoIt has a nice 'split it up into array' function...

$sp = StringSplit($split,' ') // here you split 14 14 13 12 20... into $sp[] with a blank character as delimiter...

$sp[1] = 14 and $sp[3] = 13 etc.

Then this would be...

FOR $a = 1 FOR $sp[0] // $sp[0] = 11 groups starting as $a = 1

FOR $b = 1 TO $sp[$a] // FOR 1 TO 14 as $a was one - 2 3 4...etc.

GUICtrlSetState (Group[$a][$b],$GUI_HIDE) // this hold Control IDs

Next

Next

Actually I would put this into a function and make $GUI_HIDE as an argument then one can do the HIDE / SHOW to all the controls from just one same function well every action on the controls can then be done from just this one function...

Very tight code but I hope you got the point as there are just too many controls in your example to do a script for you...

I think this can be done a bit simpler.

Dim $Group[11][21]; 20 - max controls + 1 as end marker

For $a = 0 To 10; 11 groups
    $b = 0
    While $Group[$a][$b] > 0; Until first zero item (marker) 
        GUICtrlSetState (Group[$a][$b],$GUI_HIDE)
        $b = $b + 1
    Wend
Next

Okay, im taking this tread up again, because theres something dont understand how to do..

I'm aware of this, and how it works:

Dim $Group[11][21]; 20 - max controls + 1 as end marker

For $a = 0 To 10; 11 groups
    $b = 0
    While $Group[$a][$b] > 0; Until first zero item (marker) 
        GUICtrlSetState (Group[$a][$b],$GUI_HIDE)
        $b = $b + 1
    Wend
Next

But how to i group the control to use in this func?

What about putting all the controls in a child GUI and hiding the GUI instead?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

that would work, if i would like nice when a gui is in a gui..

heres an example

expandcollapse popup

#include <guiconstants.au3>
$Screen = 1
$Main = GUICreate ( "Child Example", 400, 400 )
$Menu = GUICtrlCreateList ( "", 0, 0, 100, 400 )
GUICtrlSetData ( -1, "Screen1|Screen2|Screen3", "Screen1" )
GUISetState ( )
$First = GUICreate ( "Screen 1", 300, 400, 100, 0, $WS_CHILD, -1, $Main )
GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Screen 1 Button", 100, 100, 100, 25 )
GUISetState ( )
$Second = GUICreate ( "Screen 2", 300, 400, 100, 0, $WS_CHILD, -1, $Main )
GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Screen 2 Button", 200, 100, 75, 20 )
GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Hello!!!", 5, 5, 100, 20 )
GUISetState ( )
$Third = GUICreate ( "Screen 3", 300, 400, 100, 0, $WS_CHILD, -1, $Main )
GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Screen 3 Button", 0, 0, 50, 25 )
GUICtrlCreateCombo ( "Combo", 50, 75, 100, 20 )
GUISetState ( )
Do
    Sleep ( 10 )
    $Data = GUICtrlRead ( $Menu )
    If $Data = "Screen1" And Not ( $Screen = 1 ) Then
        $Screen = 1
        GUISetState ( @SW_SHOW, $First )
        GUISetState ( @SW_HIDE, $Second )
        GUISetState ( @SW_HIDE, $Third )
    ElseIf $Data = "Screen2" And Not ( $Screen = 2 ) Then
        $Screen = 2
        GUISetState ( @SW_HIDE, $First )
        GUISetState ( @SW_SHOW, $Second )
        GUISetState ( @SW_HIDE, $Third )
    ElseIf $Data = "Screen3" And Not ( $Screen = 3 ) Then
        $Screen = 3
        GUISetState ( @SW_HIDE, $First )
        GUISetState ( @SW_HIDE, $Second )
        GUISetState ( @SW_SHOW, $Third )
    EndIf
Until GUIGetMsg ( ) = -3
