change button name and function

[royalmarine]

not sure if this is possible,

say there is a gui, with a "start" button.

when clicked, it does so and so.

however, when its clicked, can it be changed to "cancel" and when that is clicked, it cancel's the currently running code, and changes back to "start" etc.

i know that autoit can set a button to being disabled, etc but can the button be changed? and then changed back once re-clicked?

royalmarine,

Just use GUICtrlSetData - the Help file has all the details.

GUICreate("Button example", 100, 40)
$bButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 0, 0, 100, 40)
GUISetState()

$state = 0

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $bButton
            If $state Then
                $state = 0
                GUICtrlSetData($bButton, "Start")
            Else
                $state = 1
                GUICtrlSetData($bButton, "Cancel")
            EndIf
    EndSwitch

    If $state Then
        ; Do code
    EndIf
WEnd
