Checkbox

Recommended Posts

So last thing I need to know is about the checkbox. I have successfully created a Gui with checkboxes and applied them to scripts and they work (yay) but the problem is;

I check a checkbox and the function works.

I uncheck it and it still goes as if the checkbox is checked when really it isn't.

I know there is a solution to this but I can't seem to find it.

Any help would be appreciated

This is a guess based on the code you posted in this thread.

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $My_Checkbox
            If GUICtrlRead($Msg) = 1 Then
            ;;Do Something
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Of course you very seldom need to know if a checkbox is clicked. Usually you just have to read the checked state when you click a button or call a function by some other method.

Thanks for you reply! But I do not think you understand my question. Let's just say my program typed a paragraph in notepad while the checkbox is checked. So check it and it starts typing. Then halfway through I decide to stop typing so I uncheck it. I go back to notepad but it is continuing on as if I never unchecked it. I am not too sure if that is what you answered (I hope it is though) but that is a more clear example. Also I do not see where I would put in my checkbox. Another thing is that this has more than one checkbox.

I based that on your posted code which was nothing.

Post w bit of what you have and what you want it to do when checked and when not checked and we shall see what we can come up with.

Ok so I am not at my computer atm so I can not give you my script, but I can give you an example:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $checkCN, $msg
    GUICreate("My GUI Checkbox") 

    $checkCN = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("CHECKBOX 1", 10, 10, 120, 20)

    GUISetState()
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        
        If $msg = $checkCN Then 
Send("{This is an example. So if I am in notepad this will type but I am too lazy to type in the extra commands for it so I will not. What I want it to do for example is  type this when checkbox is checked and then stop when checkbox is not checked. Thanks GeoSoft.}")
   EndIf 
WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Then best wait until you get the actual code because you can not interupt the send as you have it here. This might give you a general idea though

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $checkCN, $msg
    GUICreate("My GUI Checkbox") 

    $checkCN = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("CHECKBOX 1", 10, 10, 120, 20)

    GUISetState()
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $msg
        Case $checkCN
                If GUICtrlRead($Msg) = 1 Then
                     Send("{This is an example. So if I am in notepad this will type but I am too lazy to type in the extra commands for it so I will not. What I want it to do for example is  type this when checkbox is checked and then stop when checkbox is not checked. Thanks GeoSoft.}")
                Else
                    ContinueLoop
                EndIf
        Case -3
            Exit
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Woah, slow down a bit here. We don't have the same time zones so I may not be replying as soon as you would like.

You can use the checkbox for your send function as I showed above. The trick is to define the conditional. In this case if you check the box it will send the string, if you uncheck the box it just continues the loop and doesn't send the string which takes care of your original question as I see it.

Read up on ContinueLoop in the help file.
