noobie - help with GUICtrlSetOnEvent()

[stuartc1]

Hi all,

just found out about autoit a couple of days ago and think it's great

I've been writing a script and ran into a problem... here is my scenario ->

I have a GUI form created with Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) as I need to pass variables from text box form fields...

I have several text boxes each with their own submit button (each field does a different action).

All fine and working.... I've been using:

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($submitF, "SubmitFunc")

so that when a button is clicked the function SubmitFunc() will run.... works fine.

But I dont want to create a new function for every text/submit I have as there will be lots of duplicate code. So what I need to do is pass the value of the text field to the function when the related button is clicked. After looking at the docs for GUICtrlSetOnEvent() I see no way of passing values/variables.

Is this possible or is there some other way to do this? hope this make sense

many thanks

Passing variables not supported, but you can use @GUI_CtrlId macro to know what last control was clicked.

Func SubmitFunc() 
  MsgBox(0,"Last control ID:", @GUI_CtrlId)
Endfunc
