Clearing input fields?

[Edifice]

Hello, I have made this GUI that can print the content of the inputfields onto a piece of paper. The user might want to do this twice, with different data, without restarting the program.

Is there any way to reset or empty them all at once?

Arhh of course! - The Setdata

It's been a while since I've Auto-itted - amazing how much one forgets

Thanks man!

[Melba23]

Edifice,

If you changed your script so that the inputs were created in immediate succession, you can use a loop to help you empty the inputs.

As controls are created in Autoit, they are given the next available ControlID. So if you create a series of controls in immediate succession they will have consecutive ControlIDs. You can then use these ControlIDs in a loop to address each control in turn. Here is a short example:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

; We create the controls in IMMEDIATE succession - look in the SciTE console to see the ControlID for each control
$hLabel_1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label 1", 10, 10, 100, 20)
    ConsoleWrite("This label has a ControlID of " & $hLabel_1 & @CRLF)
$hLabel_2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label 2", 10, 30, 100, 20)
    ConsoleWrite("This label has a ControlID of " & $hLabel_2 & @CRLF)
$hLabel_3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label 3", 10, 50, 100, 20)
    ConsoleWrite("This label has a ControlID of " & $hLabel_3 & @CRLF)
$hLabel_4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label 4", 10, 70, 100, 20)
    ConsoleWrite("This label has a ControlID of " & $hLabel_4 & @CRLF)
$hLabel_5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label 5", 10, 90, 100, 20)
    ConsoleWrite("This label has a ControlID of " & $hLabel_5 & @CRLF)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Empty labels", 10, 150, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            ; Loop through the ControlIDs and blank them
            For $i = $hLabel_1 To $hLabel_5
                GUICtrlSetData($i, "")
            Next
    EndSwitch

WEnd

But you must maks sure that you create the controls in IMMEDIATE succession - or you will address controls that you do want to!

Pleasae ask if anything is unclear.

Okay I just did that to all my GUI stuff, just one problem: The command clears the text from the checkboxes but not the fact that they are checked. How do I make sure they are all unchecked?

Okay, and one last n00bie thing. How do I get combo and dropdown menus to the default state. The SetData will just add stuff to them?

Okay, and one last n00bie thing. How do I get combo and dropdown menus to the default state. The SetData will just add stuff to them?

I assume you mean combo and list boxes

$sData = "1st|2nd|3rd|4th"
$hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",x,y,w,h,styles)
GUICtrlSetData($hCombo, $sData, "1st")

;;  In here you do  whatever you want until it's time to reset the combo and then use the next line

GUIctrlSetData($hCombo, "|" & $sData, "1st") ;;  The leading pipe symbol deletes the existing contents
