Using arryas/functions to get/put data in ctrls

[RosarioC]

Hello, My name's Rosario, i've been trying to use a function that takes an index of an array, then adds that value to the variable assigned to that index. example:

Global $ArrayIndex = 12
Global $GUI[$ArrayIndex];

$GUI[0] = $appointmentsCTRL
$GUI[1] =$DoctorName 
$GUI[2] = $address
$GUI[3] = $Month_Date
$GUI[4] = $Calander
$GUI[5] = $DOA2
$GUI[6] = $Month
$GUI[7] = $Date
$GUI[8] = $Year 
$GUI[9] = $Create
$GUI[10] = $DOA
$GUI[11] = $Data


func addDatatoCTRL($ArrayIndex ,$Data)
 local $i;
     
     for $i = 0 to $ArrayIndex
         GUICtrlSetData($GUI[$i],$data)
        
     next
     return $i;
endfunc

the return Data fubction:

func ReadFromCTRL($ArrayIndex)
   local $i 
   local $Data
   
   for $i = 0 to $ArrayIndex 
       GUICtrlRead($GUI[$i],$Data)
       
   next
   return $Data
endfunc

and tried this:

func addDatatoCTRL($ArrayIndex ,$Data)
        
       switch $ArrayIndex
         case 1
            GUICtrlSetData($GUI[1],$Data);
           
         case 2
            GUICtrlSetData($GUI[2],$Data);
          
         case 6
             GUICtrlSetData($GUI[6],$Data);
        
    endswitch
    return $ArrayIndex
endfunc

the return function was similar to the one above, any help would appreciated. Thank you

It's hard to tell exactly what you are trying to do...

The commands GUICtrlReadData() and GUICtrlSetData() are used to read from and write to controls created within a GUI. The controls are referenced via the handle returned when the control is created. In your example, you've created only program variables, and have not defined any actual controls. Try playing with the following and see if things become clearer...

Global $label[11] ; an array of variables that will hold the handles that point to label controls
$DoctorName = "Jeykl"
$Month_Date = "20 December"

; Create GUI
$MyGUI = GUICreate("",400,400) ; a GUI
For $i = 1 to 10
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label " & $i & ":", 10, 25 * $i, 80, 20) ; I did not assign the returned handle, so this control cannot be referenced. It's value is static
    $label[$i] = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 90, 25 * $i, 200, 20) ; The handles for these controls have been stored to the $label array to allow them to be accessed/manipulated 
Next
GUISetState()
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sleep(2500)
addDatatoCTRL(5 ,$DoctorName) ; update the 5th label
Sleep(2500)
addDatatoCTRL(8 ,$Month_Date) ; update the 8th label
Sleep(2500)
Exit

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Func addDatatoCTRL($index ,$data)
    GUICtrlSetData($label[$index],$data)
    Beep(800, 50)
EndFunc

Also not quite sure what Your after , is the following anything near ?

Global Enum $appointmentsCTRL, $DoctorName, $address, $Month_Date, $Calander, $DOA2, $Month, $Date, $Year, $Create, $DOA, $Data
Global $hGuiCtrlLabel[12], $sGuiSetData[12], $sGuiCtrlRead[12]
$sGuiSetData[$appointmentsCTRL] = "Some Appointment"
$sGuiSetData[$DoctorName] = "Some Doctor"
$sGuiSetData[$address] = "Some address"

GUICreate("Test")
$hGuiCtrlLabel[$appointmentsCTRL] = GUICtrlCreateLabel($sGuiSetData[$appointmentsCTRL],10,10)
$hGuiCtrlLabel[$DoctorName] = GUICtrlCreateLabel($sGuiSetData[$DoctorName],10,40)
$hGuiCtrlLabel[$address] = GUICtrlCreateLabel($sGuiSetData[$address],10,70)
GUISetState()

$sGuiCtrlRead[$appointmentsCTRL] = GUICtrlRead($hGuiCtrlLabel[$appointmentsCTRL])

MsgBox(0,"Pause","$appointmentsCTRL = " & $sGuiCtrlRead[$appointmentsCTRL])

He, right, forgot to post the code that creates the GUI, :-p
