Controlling GUI Enable/Disable from an ini?

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to change the state of a GUI box from an Ini file? This is the basics of what I was trying.

$listCheck = IniRead($myIni, "authkeys", "box1", "notworking")


$listmain = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("My Check Box", 30, 150)
If $listCheck = "working" Then
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_ENABLE)
Else
        GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
EndIf



The Ini file

[authkeys]
box1=working

But oddly enough if the Ini file has just "box1=" without the word working it still enables the GUI check box. If the entire key is missing it will disable the check box.

edit

missing a comma in "authkeys",

Cuervo,

Your code works fine for me - the checkbox is enabled if the key is set correctly and disabled if the value or the entire key is missing. :)

Have you checked the value of $listCheck before you run the If structure to see if it is what you are expecting? ;)

I have not check what $listCheck returns. I'm not sure how to do that.

My issue seems to be if the ini looks like this

[authkeys]

box1=

The check box is still enabled when it should not be. Or for that matter:

[authkeys]

box1=happybox

Leaves the check box enabled as well.

Cuervo,

Use something like this to check what you are getting from your ini:

$listCheck = IniRead($myIni, "authkeys", "box1", "notworking")

ConsoleWrite($listCheck & @CRLF)

And the value will appear in SciTE's output pane.

If i set my ini to box1=happybox then the Checkbox is disabled. ;)

There must be a problem elsewhere - perhaps if you posted all your code rather than just a snippet we might find it. ;)

P.S. When you reply please use the "Add Reply" button at the top and bottom of the page rather then the "Reply" button in the post itself. That way you do not get the contents of the previous post quoted in your reply and the whole thread becomes easier to read. :)

Edit: See you found it - saving a new ini is always a good idea! :shocked:
