I'm trying to create a 10 tab gui. with 20 input boxes in each, and a save button.

This is what i came up with

#Include <Misc.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $tab, $tab0, $tab0OK, $tab0input
    Local $tab1, $tab1combo, $tab1OK
    Local $tab2, $tab2OK, $msg, $GUI_SHOW
    Local $Button_1, $msg, $test4box1, $test4box2, $test4box3, $test4box4, $test4box5, $test4box6, $test4box7, $test4box8, $test4box9, $test4box10, $test4box

    GUICtrlCreateTabItem("input 5")    ; end tabitem definition
    
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem("input 6")    ; end tabitem definition
    
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem("input 7")    ; end tabitem definition
    
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem("input 8")    ; end tabitem definition
    
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem("input 9")    ; end tabitem definition
    
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem("input 10")    ; end tabitem definition
    
    

  

    ; box the GUI until the dialog is closed
    
EndFunc   ;==>Example

problem is, it doesnt run at all it just hangs and nothing shows in the output, or the gui itself. Any ideas?

Was also wondering if there were an easier way to write multiple Locals. Instead of local $t1, $t1, $t3 is there somthing like local $t1-3 ?

Thanks

First off take a look at using an array for those controls. Study the help file for how to use arrays.

Second:

Change

GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE )

to

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

I was looking at the examples in the help section, Doesnt show the guistate($show) for this one. I added it as you had suggested. It only shows the input boxes and the labels. But not the other tabs. hmm I will look over the array section again and see if there is something i can use to help in this situation. Till i find what i am looking for i shall be doing this :( might come to me by the time i pass out. LOL

Thanks for the feed back

Lately we've noticed a few examples that should be re-written. Which one in particular are you looking at?

cueclub,

Here is a version using arrays. It works for me - and it is a bit shorter: :)

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $tab, $msg

    GUICreate("Test Program", 520, 650, 100, 200, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)

    GUISetBkColor(0x00E0FFFF)
    GUISetFont(9, 300)

    ; Create Tab control
    $tab = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 500, 555)

    ; Create 10 tabs
    For $i = 0 To 9

        ; Create tab
        GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Input " & $i + 1)

        ; Create inputs in this tab
        For $j = 0 To 19 Step 2
            GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 1,          12, 35 + (25 * $j), 150)
            $aTabBox[$i][$j] = GUICtrlCreateInput("",      11, 55 + (25 * $j), 50, 20)
            GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 2 ,        102, 35 + (25 * $j), 100)
            $aTabBox[$i][$j + 1] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 101, 55 + (25 * $j), 50, 20) ;
        Next

        ; Create button in this tab
        $aButton[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 40, 530, 100)

    Next

    ; end tabitem definition
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem("") 

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

                Next
            EndIf
        Next

    WEnd

EndFunc   ;==>Example

I changed a few sizes to get it all to fit in. Please ask if you do not understand anything. :(

Arrays can seem a bit daunting at first - look at the Wiki tutorial here for more information.

Lately we've noticed a few examples that should be re-written. Which one in particular are you looking at?

I wasnt really sure which one to look at, I was looking at them all.

And for someone who has more time on here, they may seem complete as far as explanation, however to some one just starting out it seems a bit confusing. I try to use what is in the help files first before i ask. And appreciate all feedback.

@Cueclub

Geosoft means you change your $test4box1 to 20 into

$test4box[21] (amount +1) where $test4box[0] = 20

This will reduce the amount of declaration on the top

I see what you are saying but for a semi beginner it is a little confusing till i work with it more.

ok i will check out the link you have provided, sometimes thats all i need to get moving. I'm not one to come on here and ask for my items to be re-written, I am just asking for help in understanding how or why something is done. The last time i wrote anything was in Basic, and that was for a school report. lol And I thought that was difficult. :(.

I want to thank the 3 of you for your feedback, and trying to help me understand the way the declarations are done. I will keep working with it till i understand, and that would be less questions from me. :)

Thanks

Just keep up the way you are going and all will be well. Check the help file, if you have a question then awsk in the forums. It's easy to see that you at least put some effort in before asking in the forum.

cueclub,

I second what George just said. People like you, who have obviusly looked at the Help file and tried something themselves first, should never be worried about posting here. :(

Well here it is my problem of the day lol.

Perhaps i lost grasp of the situation and need another kick in the head.

I took the example that Melba had posted and tried to expand on it.

I wanted to try 24 boxes. 8 per line with 3 lines ( or rows )

So this is what I did.

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $tab, $msg
    Local $aTabBox[10][240], $aButton[10]

    GUICreate("Test Program", 520, 650, 100, 200, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)

    GUISetBkColor(0x00E0FFFF)
    GUISetFont(9, 300)

    ; Create Tab control
    $tab = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 500, 555)

    ; Create 10 tabs
    For $i = 0 To 9

        ; Create tab
        GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Input " & $i + 1)

        ; Create inputs in this tab
        For $j = 0 To 7 Step 1
            GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 1,          12 + (60 * $j), 35, 150)
            $aTabBox[$i][$j] = GUICtrlCreateInput("",      12 + (60 * $j), 55, 50, 20)
            GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 9 ,        12 + (60 * $j), 185, 100)
            $aTabBox[$i][$j + 1] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 12 + (60 * $j), 205, 50, 20) ;
            GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 17 ,        12 + (60 * $j),335 , 100)
            $aTabBox[$i][$j] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 12 + (60 * $j), 355, 50, 20)


        Next

        ; Create button in this tab
        $aButton[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 40, 530, 100)

    Next

    ; end tabitem definition
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem("") 

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
        EndSelect

        ; Check buttons
        For $i = 0 To 9
            If $msg = $aButton[$i] Then
                ; If button pressed, write ini 
                For $j = 0 To 23
                    IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "customer " & $i + 1 & " input ", $j + 1, GUICtrlRead($aTabBox[$i][$j]))
                Next
                exit
            EndIf
        Next

    WEnd

EndFunc   ;==>Example

And I thought I hade it.. untill........

I looked at the ini file. I should of had more coffee first. Here is what it listed.

[customer 1 input]

1=3

2=6

3=9

4=12

5=15

6=18

7=21

8=24

9=23

10=0

11=0

12=0

13=0

14=0

15=0

16=0

17=0

18=0

19=0

20=0

21=0

22=0

23=0

24=0

And just to test it I input 1-24 in the boxes. box#1 i put 1 and so on....

Also is there a way to controll which input box the tab goes to first? When I try it coded this way, it tabs at 1,9,17 and then 2, 10, 18 and so on.

I'm starting to run out of brick walls here lol.

I will keep messing with it and reading some more. just asking for any ideas as to where i messed up .

Thanks in advance

cueclub,

You were very close. :(

Look for the <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< lines and I will explain why I changed them below:

1. The array is declared with 2 dimensions - [tab][input] - so initially we had [10][20]. Think of the contents set out like this:

Input 1    Input 1    ...    Input 20

Tab 1   [     ]    [     ]           [     ]        

Tab 2   [     ]    [     ]           [     ]

...

Tab 10  [     ]    [     ]           [     ]

So to increase the number of Inputs per tab, you need only increase the second dimension - setting it to 24. By putting 240, you were allowing for 240 Inputs per tab - the code would have worked, but you would have wasted a lot of memory.

2. Small point only - no need to define default values.

3. Similar reason for both lines. You had adjusted the label value but not the index in the array. So you were not getting the right ControlIDs into the correct places in the array.

4. Do you really want to exit at this point?

I hope these explanations are clear - please ask again if not. :)

Ok a few things

So to increase the number of Inputs per tab, you need only increase the second dimension - setting it to 24. By putting 240, you were allowing for 240 Inputs per tab - the code would have worked, but you would have wasted a lot of memory.

I thought they had to be multiples of 10. :(

2. Small point only - no need to define default values.

So the default was 1. Gotcha. In the previous example it was showing step of 2, just assumed that i needed to decrease it to 1 when i had change it. again :)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 9 , 12 + (60 * $j), 185, 100)

$aTabBox[$i][$j + 8] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 12 + (60 * $j), 205, 50, 20) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 3

GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 17 , 12 + (60 * $j), 335 , 100)

$aTabBox[$i][$j + 16] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 12 + (60 * $j), 355, 50, 20) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 3

Ok i see what you are saying, And cant believe I missed that step. Its nice having another set of eyes. lol

We as for the exit part, Was getting kind of lazy and just wanted to skip a step, o i threw the exit in as a temp item.

I am starting to understand it, and will try one from scratch on my own to test my knowledge. Smell the fire burning yet?

Now for my question about tab stops for the input:

Is there some where in the help files, to show or explain how to control where the tab stops? ie: hit the tab key to go from 1-2-3-4-5 ect...

Thank you for the quick feed back.

cueclub,

Smell the fire burning yet?

Make sure there is a bucket handy! :)

tab stops

These are set with the $WS_TABSTOP style. You normally need not worry about this as the style is usually forced by AutoIt. Look at the Help file for GUICtrlCreateInput - under style you read:

"forced styles : $WS_TABSTOP only if no $ES_READONLY"

Look at GUICtrlCreateButton for a similar statement.

However, the tab stops are set in the order of creation - so you will have to change the order in which you create your inputs if you want to run through them in numerical order. That would be a nice little challenge - best make it 2 buckets! :)

I hope that answers the question. :(

cueclub,

might be easier just to change the labels

That is the sort of pragmatic lateral thinking solution that means you have begun to understand the art of coding! :(:)

ok ok after an hour of playing around i figured it out. A little help from the files did the trick as well.

For those browsing the forums looking for info and have yet to find anything to help you. You have 2 options Keep looking or you can take a peek here.

For $j = 0 To 7 ; Do not Step 1 - that is the default value <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 2

GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 1, 12 + (60 * $j), 35, 150)

$aTabBox[$i][$j] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 12 + (60 * $j), 55, 50, 20)

for $h = 0 to 7

GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 9 , 12 + (60 * $j), 185, 100)

$aTabBox[$i][$j + 8] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 12 + (60 * $j), 205, 50, 20) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 3

next

for $k = 0 to 7

GUICtrlCreateLabel("box # " & $j + 17 , 12 + (60 * $j), 335 , 100)

$aTabBox[$i][$j + 16] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 12 + (60 * $j), 355, 50, 20) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 3

next

Next

this will align the tab order. :)

But I suggest you keep looking/playing with it. Only way to learn.

Thanks to M23 and Geo for their assistance, and patience. :)

Cue

btw it only took 1 bucket this time :(
