Help with Getting User input.

[DustinBowers]

I have While/Wend loop searching for user input with a Switch statement. My form used a loop to generate 400+/- labels and this case statement evaluates them such as: Case $Label[1] Case $Label[2] is there a better way than typing out 400+/- case statements inside this while loop?

The loop:

expandcollapse popup

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        
        Switch $nMsg
       
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            
            Case $BtnAdd
                If GUICtrlRead($CropComboList) = "" then
                MsgBox(0, "Error", "You must select a crop from the combo box before adding a seeding area to the list")
                ElseIf GUICtrlRead($CropComboList) = "Select a Crop" then
                MsgBox(0, "Error", "You must select a crop from the combo box before adding a seeding area to the list")
                EndIf
    
                GUICtrlSetData($AreaList, "Area " & $AreaCount & ": " & GUICtrlRead($CropComboList))
                $AreaCount = $AreaCount + 1
            
            Case $BtnExit
                Call("Terminate")   

            Case $Label1[1]
                MsgBox(0,"", "You pushed the Button 1" & $Label1[1])
                GUICtrlSetBkColor($Label1[1], $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
            
            Case $Label1[2]
                MsgBox(0,"", "You pushed the Button 2" & $Label1[2])
                GUICtrlSetBkColor($Label1[2], $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
            
            Case $Label1[3]
                MsgBox(0,"", "You pushed the Button 3" & $Label1[3])
                GUICtrlSetBkColor($Label1[3], $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
            
            Case $Label1[4]
                MsgBox(0,"", "You pushed the Button 4" & $Label1[4])
                GUICtrlSetBkColor($Label1[4], $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
                
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

Your Labell[n] looks like an array format so you could loop through it.

But perhaps you would be better using GUIOnEventMode option.

Dude - you keep asking for help for your bot

I guess you simply don't know when to stop.

[DustinBowers]

Not quite sure how to loop through the array where if the user clicks one of the labels the action is triggered ie: user clicks $Label1[250] then GUICtrlDelete($label1[20]) or maybe change color... any further ideas? It would be a great help.

[JohnOne]

Well you cant get much user input from a label I dont think, probably just a boolean True or False.

Its a little difficult to understand what you are wanting to do.

[DustinBowers]

Well currently, I have 400 labels 1-400, when a user clicks one of the labels it deletes that label and writes a simple ini entry. i dont need any other input from the user besides a click.

[JohnOne]

Well you definately need to read up on GUIOnEventMode, and you also want to look at GUICtrlSetOnEvent, to call your iniwrite function.

[DustinBowers]

Thanks for the input. Ill read up on both of those.

Back to the first response. I think you need to use a for next loop

for $i=1 to 400
        Case $Label1[1]
        MsgBox(0,"", "You pushed the Button "&$i& $Label1[$i])
        GUICtrlSetBkColor($Label1[$i], $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
    Next

I think you need to use a for next loop

Yes, but you'll have to move it outside of the Switch, or it will error
