I've recently learned about AutoIt and thought I'd give it a try. I tried doing some basic mathematical calculations without the GUI and they worked fine. Then, I decided I'll try to make GUI programs so, I made a simple GUI using GUI Designer: Koda 1.7.3.0 . I compiled the code & tried to run it, but after running the compiled program, the GUI is displayed and the program automatically terminates. Following is the code:

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 AutoIt Version: 3.3.6.1
 Author:         myName

 Script Function:
    Template AutoIt script.

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Script Start - Add your code below here

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My First GUI", 615, 438, 192, 114)
GuiSetIcon(@SystemDir & "\mspaint.exe", 0)

$lb_title = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Title:", 8, 24, 27, 17)
$lb_des = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Description:", 8, 64, 60, 17)
$input_title = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 24, 377, 21)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Combo1", 464, 24, 145, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
$input_des = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 72, 64, 537, 290)
$input_download = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 368, 537, 21)
$bt_save = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 448, 400, 75, 25)
$btn_exit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 536, 400, 75, 25)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Select         
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        GUIDelete()
        Exit
                    
    Case $nmsg=$btn_exit
        GUIDelete()
        Exit
                
    Case=$nmsg=$btn_save
        MsgBox(64,"Save", "Saved!!")
    EndSelect
WEnd

What am I doing wrong here??

And also another question, what is the difference between Compile & Build??

Your select statement is wrong.

You have mixed Select and Switch syntax and the last Case is totally incorrect.

I suggest you change it all to a Switch.

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Switch $nMsg        
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $Btn_exit
            GUIDelete();; Not really needed but doesn't hurt to leave it.
            Exit
        Case $btn_save
            MsgBox(64,"Save", "Saved!!")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Edit: Corrected a syntax error.

EDIT 2: Since I did this as a Switch, You can combine Case statements so I edited the code again.

SUB0DH,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum. ;)

Try changing this:

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

to this:

Case $nMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

In a Select structure you need to specify the variable you are checking - it is only in a Switch structure you can omit it. ;)

All clear? :)

Take a look at the last Case as well.

George,

I had noticed, but as the OP said the code actually ran I assumed they were typos in posting. ;)

Could well be oh brilliant one, but that Select was doomed to fail the way it was written anyway. The reason I suggested the change to Switch in this case is because he is only using 1 variable that he needs to test for, $nMsg, so using a Switch helps prevent errors like that.

George,

I absolutely agree with you on this, oh wise and ancient one! ;) I always use Switch for the GUIGetMsg loop for exactly that reason.

SUB0DH,

Sorry to hijack your thread - are you happy with what has been suggested by either or both of us? ;)

Edit: Got my Switch/Select mixed up - good job George has sharp eyes (or some good spectacles!) :)

Careful with the use af the word ancient sunny boy!

Hopefully you meant "I always use Switch for the GUIGetMsg loop for exactly that reason." and not Select. Select will not allow multiple controls on the same Case statement without the use of OR statements. With Switch it's even possible to do things like Case $a To $z, assuming of course those are sequential controls.

Thanks for your suggestion. The code is working with Switch.

Thanks for the welcome M23. I was looking for difference between Switch & Select. Now, thanks to you I've found one & also found out what I was doing wrong.

@M23

Take a look at the last Case as well.

George,

I had noticed, but as the OP said the code actually ran I assumed they were typos in posting. :shocked:

M23

Sorry, it was a typo in posting as M23 suspected.

SUB0DH,

Sorry to hijack your thread - are you happy with what has been suggested by either or both of us? :)

M23

Yes. Both of your suggestion works perfectly. Thank you guys once again.
