GUI Auto keystroke

[Guest Orlann]

Hiya.. i have had AutoIt for.. 2-3 days now and i think i have made a chunk of progress... but... now i want to make a GUI version of said app.

The one i have now.. has the windowname, keystroke, delay.. all hard coded into the program. To make this useable for others.. i would like a prompt of some sort for them to put info in and be able to change it w/o having to reload. (reloading it can be done if its a MUST).

i'll attach the working (non gui) version.. then the non working GUI version.

any help here would be wonderfull.

Hey it's better than what I was doing after 2-3 days...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

ty.. and.. i got it working.. sortof. It works when the program itself is the target application but not said other program (and i'm using the autoit window info app to conferm the name)... not sure why it works in one setting and not the other.. but here is my progress so far.

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
; Purpose: Allow user to enter in a window name, delay, and command
;   to send to said window every X delayed seconds. I have a working
;   NON Gui version of this application and it works. The benifit of
;   making it GUI is flexability. Version 1.0 is hardcoded with 
;   the delay, windowname, and command.
;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;   
; Version Releases:
;    1.0 = all hard coded and zero flexability.
;    1.1 = Gui and not hardcoded. See bug list for further issues.
;
;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
; Buglist:
;    Version 1.0 = no "bugs"
;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;    Version 1.1 = Start/Stop doesn't work as intended. Once the values
;              are set the only way to change them is to close and reload
;              the program.
;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;
; How it's "suposed" to work step by step w/ example
;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;  1. User loads application
;  2. User enters info into 3 fields
;  3. User sets values and gets a visual conframation the values are saved.
;  4.a The program will not send commands to $name untill its is the activewindow
;  4.b User clicks on Start/Stop to activate program
;  5. User toggles to said program in $name
;  6. Application begins sending $command every $delay seconds untill 
;   PAUSE/Break (hotkey) or Start/Stop (app button) is pressed.
;  7. User changes values in windows. (step 1)
;  8. User saves values. (step 2)
;  9. BUG!!.. new command/timer not recognized.

Look at this, It is untested but it should do what you want.

Add this in your Script

Global $break = 0
Func _break()
    $break = 1
EndFunc  ;==>_break

Change your RunProgram Function to

Func _runProgram()
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $WinMain)
                Sleep(3000); to give you time change window to where you want
; it to send to        
    While 1
        send($command)
        Sleep($delay)
        If $break = 1 Then
            HotKeySet("{ESC}")
            $break = 0
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $WinMain)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndFunc

Change this

Case $msg = $run
      ;If $running = 0 Then
      ;    runProgram()
      ;Else
      ;    ExitLoop
      ;EndIf
      ;TogglePause()
            runProgram()

In to this

Case $msg = $run
          _runProgram()

This should my the gui Hide when you click run so that it can Send to some wheres else. Use the Esc key to stop the program and to my the Gui show again

and call _break() via the stop button?

the addon/mod doesnt show recomended spot to call it. no time atm to test it.
