supersonic Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi! Is there a function or an UDF to disable (= grey them out) ALL controls of a GUI at once? Of course, I could disable the whole GUI... But it's not what I'm looking for... Sure, I also could disable control by control... And enable control by control... That's not very practical... May be there is a function or an UDF to list ALL controls used in a GUI? Anyone any ideas? Greets, -supersonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Hi supersonic,I've seen something similar with checkboxes. The handle of all checkboxes are stored in an array. Then you can loop through the array to check/uncheck all checkboxes in one go.An example can be found here or here.

Moderators Melba23 Posted June 17, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 17, 2010 supersonic,Just run a loop from the first ControlID to the last: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $iStart = GUICtrlCreateDummy() GUICtrlCreateButton("Press", 10, 10, 80, 30) GUICtrlCreateButton("Press", 10, 50, 80, 30) GUICtrlCreateButton("Press", 10, 90, 80, 30) GUICtrlCreateButton("Press", 10, 130, 80, 30) GUICtrlCreateButton("Press", 10, 170, 80, 30) GUICtrlCreateButton("Press", 10, 210, 80, 30) $iEnd = GUICtrlCreateDummy() GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $iStart To $iEnd For $i = $iStart To $iEnd GUICtrlSetState($i, $GUI_DISABLE) Next EndSwitch WEndOf course if you have stored the controlIDs of your first and last controls, you can use those rather than the Dummy IDs.But please read this post where I explain how ControlIDs work and why using them in loops can be problematic. The earlier code in the same topic shows similar loops using ControlIds to the one above. I hope that helps.

Moderators Melba23 Posted June 17, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 17, 2010 supersonic, A bit overcomplex to my mind. How often do you have a variable number of controls at GUI creation time? Once you have your GUI sorted, you could just declare an array with the correct number of elements and make the whole thing much simpler: expandcollapse popup#include <Array.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Global $aArray[6] $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $aArray[0] = GUICtrlCreateButton("a", 10, 10, 80, 30) $aArray[1] = GUICtrlCreateButton("b", 10, 50, 80, 30) $aArray[2] = GUICtrlCreateButton("c", 10, 90, 80, 30) $aArray[3] = GUICtrlCreateButton("d", 10, 130, 80, 30) $aArray[4] = GUICtrlCreateButton("e", 10, 170, 80, 30) $aArray[5] = GUICtrlCreateButton("f", 10, 210, 80, 30) Local $off = GUICtrlCreateButton("OFF", 10, 250, 80, 30) Local $on = GUICtrlCreateButton("ON", 10, 290, 80, 30) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $off _Action($aArray, "OFF") Case $on _Action($aArray, "ON") EndSwitch WEnd Func _Action(ByRef $aHWnd, $sAction) $sState = $GUI_ENABLE If $sAction = "OFF" Then $sState = $GUI_DISABLE For $i = 0 To UBound($aArray) - 1 ; No need for Step 1 = default ConsoleWrite($sAction & " - " & $aArray[$i] & @CRLF) GUICtrlSetState($aArray[$i], $sState) Next EndFunc But full marks for lateral thinking!

Yoriz Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Just a slight tweak on Melba23's method, so you can freely move around/add/takeaway controls without keeping track of the array size or the need to number up each time. All you need is to paste the same line '$hControlIDs &= "|" & ' in front of any control you want in the array and do a stringsplit at the end to get your array. expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Global $hControlIDs $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("a", 10, 10, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("b", 10, 50, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("c", 10, 90, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("d", 10, 130, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("e", 10, 170, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("f", 10, 210, 80, 30) Local $off = GUICtrlCreateButton("OFF", 10, 250, 80, 30) Local $on = GUICtrlCreateButton("ON", 10, 290, 80, 30) $hControlIDs = StringSplit(StringTrimLeft($hControlIDs, 1), "|", 2) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $off _Action($hControlIDs, "OFF") Case $on _Action($hControlIDs, "ON") EndSwitch WEnd Func _Action(ByRef $hControlIDs, $sAction) $sState = $GUI_ENABLE If $sAction = "OFF" Then $sState = $GUI_DISABLE For $i = 0 To UBound($hControlIDs) - 1 ; No need for Step 1 = default ConsoleWrite($sAction & " - " & $hControlIDs[$i] & @CRLF) GUICtrlSetState($hControlIDs[$i], $sState) Next EndFunc GDIPlusDispose - A modified version of GDIPlus that auto disposes of its own objects before shutdown of the Dll using the same function Syntax as the original.EzMySql UDF - Use MySql Databases with autoit with syntax similar to SQLite UDF.

supersonic Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yashied, does '_WinAPI_EnumChildWindows()' always grab all controls of a GUI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yoriz, indeed, nice! But how to identify a control later on in the script by "name"? All control handles will be numbered from $hControlIDs[0] to $hControlIDs[n]. When using many controls this could make a script hard to read...

Yoriz Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I guess you could split them up into smaller groups and keep the big grp, or keep various important ones in there own variable but still add them to the grp, or use guictrlread to get there text to identify them. ect expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Global $hControlIDs, $hMoreControlIDs, $hButGrp1, $hButGrp2, $hButGrp3, $hOnButGrp, $hOffButGrp, $hTemp $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("a", 10, 10, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("b", 10, 50, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("c", 10, 90, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("d", 10, 130, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("e", 10, 170, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("f", 10, 210, 80, 30) $hButGrp1 = StringSplit(StringTrimLeft($hControlIDs, 1), "|", 2) $hOffButGrp &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("OFF", 10, 250, 80, 30) $hOnButGrp &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("ON", 10, 290, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("g", 110, 10, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("h", 110, 50, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("i", 110, 90, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("j", 110, 130, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("k", 110, 170, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("l", 110, 210, 80, 30) $hButGrp2 = StringSplit(StringTrimLeft($hMoreControlIDs, 1), "|", 2) $hOffButGrp &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("OFF", 110, 250, 80, 30) $hOnButGrp &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("ON", 110, 290, 80, 30) $hControlIDs &= $hMoreControlIDs $hMoreControlIDs = "" $hButonM = GUICtrlCreateButton("m", 210, 10, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & $hButonM $hButonN = GUICtrlCreateButton("n", 210, 50, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & $hButonN $hButonO = GUICtrlCreateButton("o", 210, 90, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & $hButonO $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("p", 210, 130, 80, 30) ; you get the idea :P $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("q", 210, 170, 80, 30) $hMoreControlIDs &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("u", 210, 210, 80, 30) $hButGrp3 = StringSplit(StringTrimLeft($hMoreControlIDs, 1), "|", 2) $hOffButGrp &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("OFF", 210, 250, 80, 30) $hOnButGrp &= "|" & GUICtrlCreateButton("ON", 210, 290, 80, 30) $hOffButGrp = StringSplit(StringTrimLeft($hOffButGrp, 1), "|", 2) $hOnButGrp = StringSplit(StringTrimLeft($hOnButGrp, 1), "|", 2) $hControlIDs &= $hMoreControlIDs $hMoreControlIDs = "" Local $Alloff = GUICtrlCreateButton("ALL OFF", 60, 330, 80, 30) Local $Allon = GUICtrlCreateButton("All ON", 160, 330, 80, 30) $hControlIDs = StringSplit(StringTrimLeft($hControlIDs, 1), "|", 2) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $hOffButGrp[0], $hOffButGrp[1], $hOffButGrp[2] Switch $msg Case $hOffButGrp[0] $hTemp = $hButGrp1 Case $hOffButGrp[1] $hTemp = $hButGrp2 Case $hOffButGrp[2] $hTemp = $hButGrp3 EndSwitch _Action($hTemp, "OFF") Case $hOnButGrp[0], $hOnButGrp[1], $hOnButGrp[2] Switch $msg Case $hOnButGrp[0] $hTemp = $hButGrp1 Case $hOnButGrp[1] $hTemp = $hButGrp2 Case $hOnButGrp[2] $hTemp = $hButGrp3 EndSwitch _Action($hTemp, "ON") Case $Alloff _Action($hControlIDs, "OFF") Case $Allon _Action($hControlIDs, "ON") Case $hButGrp1[0] To $hButGrp1[UBound($hButGrp1) - 1] MsgBox(0, "", "A button in Grp1 was clicked" & @CR & "The button is " & GUICtrlRead($msg)) Case $hButGrp2[0] To $hButGrp2[UBound($hButGrp2) - 1] MsgBox(0, "", "A button in Grp2 was clicked" & @CR & "Its No " & $msg - $hButGrp2[0] + 1 & " Of the Grp") Case $hButonM MsgBox(0, "", "Button m Clicked") Case $hButonN MsgBox(0, "", "Button n Clicked") Case $hButonO MsgBox(0, "", "Button o Clicked") EndSwitch WEnd Func _Action(ByRef $hControlIDs, $sAction) $sState = $GUI_ENABLE If $sAction = "OFF" Then $sState = $GUI_DISABLE For $i = 0 To UBound($hControlIDs) - 1 ; No need for Step 1 = default ConsoleWrite($sAction & " - " & $hControlIDs[$i] & @CRLF) GUICtrlSetState($hControlIDs[$i], $sState) Next EndFunc ;==>_Action Yea i got a bit carried away GDIPlusDispose - A modified version of GDIPlus that auto disposes of its own objects before shutdown of the Dll using the same function Syntax as the original.EzMySql UDF - Use MySql Databases with autoit with syntax similar to SQLite UDF.
