#include (adding diff .au3 into gui)

[Velnes]

hi again im here with a different topic

umm i cant figure out how to do this :

this is example dont mind all code

$gui = guicreate("")
$button = guictrlcreatebutton("", xx,xx,xx,xx)

while 1
switch guigetmsg()
case $button
#include <my other file.au3>
endswitch
wend

so when pressing button... the #include file would create an input box or something in this current $gui not in the other file...

i dont know how else to explain ... i tryed this #include thing few ways but everytime i just get error at that line

case $button
#include <my other file.au3>
endswitch

I made this same mistake before. You can't put an #include statement within a block statment (case, func, if-then, etc...), and there is no way to do a conditional #include.

All #include statements will be replaced by the contents of the include file BEFORE any code is executed.

You put the code that creates the inputbox (or Whatever) in a function in the include file. The include file should have the line #Include-Once at the top of it.

Now you move that #Include line to the top of the script. If it's a local file and not one in your AutoIt\Include\ folder then use the Quote method.

#Include "<path>\my other file.au3"

Where you now have the #Include<my other file.au3> line, replace it with a function call to bring up the inputbox.

EDIT: I should have mentioned that #Include is a pre-processor directive so you can't call it in a loop like you did.

Move the #include line to the top of the script. When the script is started the file is included. AutoIt does not support conditional includes.

In your case statement you have to call a function thas is included with <my other file.au3>

ok thank you all i got it now thnx very much

[Velnes]

hmm i tryed with calling func

and put in func the #include but not working at all

maybe i understood u wrong

but isnt there anyway to do sumtin like that?

coz i want like when u press button then add into the $gui an edit box or inputbox or anything

You DO NOT put the #Include in the Include file

You DO NOT use #Include in a loop.

#Include is a pre-processor directive and the file must only be #Included once, preferably at the top of the script.

Your include file can be as simple as this.

#Include-Once
Func _Run_InputBox()
   Local $sStr = InputBox("My Input Box", "Enter whatever you want")
   Return ($sStr)
EndFunc

Then Call the FUNCTION in the loop, NOT the file.

#Include "C:\Some\Folder\my other file.au3"
$gui = guicreate("")
$button = guictrlcreatebutton("", xx,xx,xx,xx)

While 1
   Switch guigetmsg()
       Case $button
           $s_Rtn = _Run_InputBox()
           MsgBox(4096, "Result", $s_Rtn)
   EndSwitch
WEnd

All clear now?
