GUICtrlread


Recommended Posts

So, im trying to read

$npc51c1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("npc51c1", 48, 192, 81, 21)

from within a function however, it constantly returns 0 instead of giving the value of the input box and from what ive been reading, if it returns a 0 its because its due to failure. Could anyone tell me what im doing wrong? my function is below.

Func CityCoords($CityNumber, $NpcLevel)
    Local $npc1, $npc
    GUICtrlSetData($Status, "Writing City " & $CityNumber & " Coords to File!")
    If $NpcLevel = 5 Then
        For $i = 1 To 70 Step 1
            ;Generate GUI Input Name
            $npc1 = "$npc5" & $CityNumber & "c" & $i
            ;Read GUI Input and Return Value
            $npc = GUICtrlRead($npc1)
            ;Write GUI Value to File
            IniWrite("city" & $CityNumber & "coords.ini", "npc" & $NpcLevel & $CityNumber & "coords", $i, $npc)
        Next
    Else
        For $i = 1 To 60 Step 1
            ;Generate GUI Input Name
            $npc1 = "$npc10" & $CityNumber & "c" & $i
            ;Read GUI Input and Return Value
            $npc = GUICtrlRead($npc1)
            ;Write GUI Value to File
            IniWrite("city" & $CityNumber & "coords.ini", "npc" & $NpcLevel & $CityNumber & "coords", $i, $npc)
        Next
    EndIf
    GUICtrlSetData($Status, "Done!")
EndFunc   ;==>CityCoords

b3lorixx,

You need to use Eval to get the value of the variable whose name you are creating in $npc1.

This should work:

;Generate GUI Input Name
$npc1 = "npc5" & $CityNumber & "c" & $i ; Note no $ at the front
;Read GUI Input and Return Value
$npc = GUICtrlRead(Eval($npc1)) ; And use Eval to get the value of the variable referenced by that string with the $ in front

Let me know if it works for you - it does for me. :)
