Selected parts of GUI only plz

[GodForsakenSoul]

i would like to have the GUI check what kind of pictures or labels it needs to display depending on the situation.

the situation is being dictated by a rather complicated INI file, but (with the help of comments) i can understand it.

here's an example of what i would like to do. as in, i would like this to work

$iniread=iniread("myini.ini","test","test1","0") ;let's assume test1=1 when everything's good
guicreate("example gui",350,300)
opt($GCM,0) ;i shortened "GuiCoordMode", among other things, to $GCM in a special custom made constants file i made. i find it easier this way.
if $iniread=1 then
   guictrlcreatelabel("This is the "correct" label",25,25,300,20)
else
   guictrlcreatelabel("This is the "wrong" label",25,25,300,20)
endif

i understand that i'm, of course, missing some vital code to actually SHOW the gui, but i believe this is the important bit.

despite all of my efforts, the "wrong" label (more then just label actually) is the thing that shows up, disregarding the fact that $iniread at that given situation is 1. while i CAN make an ugly function to act as a switch and build two guis, i would like to avoid it, generally.

i hope i've been clear with explaining my problem.

best regards

IniRead returns a string not a number. I think you need

If Number($iniread) = 1 then

EDIT: Sorry, ignore that, "1" does equate to 1, obvious now but not when I posted for some reason.

I used your code as follows:

$iniread=iniread("myini.ini","test","test1","0") ;let's assume test1=1 when everything's good
guicreate("example gui",350,300)
opt('GuiCoordMode',0) ;i shortened "GuiCoordMode", among other things, to $GCM in a special custom made constants file i made. i find it easier this way.
if $iniread=1 then
   guictrlcreatelabel("This is the correct label",25,25,300,20)
else
   guictrlcreatelabel("This is the wrong label",25,25,300,20)
endif

GUISetState()

Sleep (3000)

I was sure that myini.ini file is located next to .au3 script file.

Maybe your problem is the location of the .ini file as the above is working successfully.

I see. Well, from this i learn only one thing: God hates me.

I have no idea where i could have messed up.

The ini is located in "\Data\", but i made sure that i hit it each time at least 20 times. Perhaps more.

I made msgbox's to show the content of the $iniread...

I DID EVERYTHING CONCIEVABLE TO DETECT THE ERROR!

yet i failed.

I hear hell is warm.

Perhaps put the ini file in the same location as your script, then change

$iniread=iniread("myini.ini","test","test1","0")

to

$iniread=iniread(@ScriptDir&"\myini.ini","test","test1","0")
