Arrays of Buttons

[CrisRobin]

I am quite new in Autoit, so maybe this question is not very smart.

I created an array of buttons like this according to a number of parameters that the user choose in a combo box.

Dim $MyArr[$xy[1]][$xy[1]]
    For $d_2 = 0 To $xy[1] -1
        For $d_1 = 0 To $xy[1] -1
            $MyArr[$d_2][$d_2] = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 10+($d_1*22), 184+($d_2*22), 20, 20 )
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($MyArr[$d_2][$d_2], 0x604311)
        Next
    Next

My question is how do i check and start a function according to what button was pressed?

I couldn't find a way to use the $gui_msg[0] because it does not know $MyArr[$d_2][$d_2].

Please advice

Hello,

try something like this...

expandcollapse popup

$numberofbuttons = 24   ;number from 1 to 30
Dim $buttoncontrolID[$numberofbuttons + 1]

GUICreate("test")
For $i = 1 To $numberofbuttons ;we make an array of buttons
    $buttoncontrolID[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton("  Button  " & $i, 10 + ((($i > 10) + ($i > 20)) * 100), 30 + ($i - (($i > (($i > 20) + 1) * 10) * (($i > 20) + 1) * 10)) * 30,85,30)
Next
$somethingbutton=guictrlcreatebutton("do something ",310,30,80,30 )

;here you could give the buttons an other text or color
guictrlsetdata($buttoncontrolID[1] ,"Push!")
GUICtrlSetColor($buttoncontrolID[1],0xFF00FF)
guictrlsetdata($buttoncontrolID[13],"Push ME!")
GUICtrlSetColor($buttoncontrolID[13],0x000FFF)
guictrlsetdata($buttoncontrolID[17],"Push ME TOO!")
GUICtrlSetColor($buttoncontrolID[17],0xFF0000)

GUISetState()


While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case -3  ;exit is pressed
            Exit
        case $somethingbutton
            Msgbox (0,"","Button do something is pressed")

        Case $buttoncontrolID[1] To $buttoncontrolID[$numberofbuttons]   ;one of the "array"-Buttons is pressed
            call ("_arraybutton_"&($numberofbuttons-($buttoncontrolID[$numberofbuttons]-$msg)))  ;names oft the functions are _arraybutton_1() _arraybutton_2().....
            If @error = 0xDEAD And @extended = 0xBEEF Then MsgBox(4096, "ERROR", "Function "&"_arraybutton_"&($numberofbuttons-($buttoncontrolID[$numberofbuttons]-$msg))&" does not exist!")
    EndSwitch
WEnd



;*******************functions********************************
func _arraybutton_1()
    msgbox(0,"_arraybutton_"&($numberofbuttons-($buttoncontrolID[$numberofbuttons]-$msg)),"arraybutton pressed: "&GUICtrlRead($msg))
endfunc
;
; here are the funcs of the buttons
;
;
func _arraybutton_13()
    msgbox(0,"_arraybutton_"&($numberofbuttons-($buttoncontrolID[$numberofbuttons]-$msg)),"arraybutton pressed: "&GUICtrlRead($msg))
endfunc

func _arraybutton_17()
    msgbox(0,"_arraybutton_"&($numberofbuttons-($buttoncontrolID[$numberofbuttons]-$msg)),"arraybutton pressed: "&GUICtrlRead($msg))
endfunc

i hope it helps a little bit and don´t confuse you very much...

It would be much easier to put guictrlsetonevent in your original for-next loop and use @gui_ctrlid to get the ctrlid of the button.
