WesW Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Hello, I am trying to create a tab from with buttons to install software... Each tab will have different software to install. I can’t seem to get the buttons to work inside the tab. Any help would be great...

bwochinski Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 A few small issues with your script. First, you have 2 program loops (WHILE 1 .... WEND), and the program will never leave the first one until it completely exits. So the 2nd WHILE loop was never getting executed. Second, your SWITCH statement was indented oddly, making me think you misunderstood how they are used. You should review the help on their usage if you need. Regardless, no nesting is required in this case, you don't need to worry about what tab each button is on, as each control handle should be stored in a unique variable (or array element). All you need to check for is if $button1 was pressed. You might consider a variable naming convention such as $t1btn1 (tab 1 button 1) if it helps you keep it straight. Below I commented out the superfluous WHILE loop, which isn't needed at all. Also commented out the Filecopy() function, just to get the script working as a test, but I assume you'll have valid paths to use in there once the program is working. expandcollapse popup#include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <TabConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:\Users\walkersw\Documents\Gui.kxf $Gui = GUICreate("Test", 301, 525, 214, 131) $tab = GUICtrlCreateTab(5, 5, 290, 510) GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH+$GUI_DOCKHEIGHT) $tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab1") $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Install", 15, 74, 49, 25, $WS_GROUP) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Arial") $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("01-Startup.exe", 71, 78, 73, 17) $tab2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab2") $tab3 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab3") $tab4 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab4") GUICtrlCreateTabItem("") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### ;~ While 1 ;~ $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() ;~ Switch $nMsg ;~ Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ;~ Exit ;~ EndSwitch ;~ WEnd While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 ;~ FileCopy("\\path", "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup") ;~ Sleep(1000) MsgBox(64, 'Startup.exe.', 'File Copied.')

MHz Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hope everyone had a fun friday night. can someone show me what I am doing wrong here. Just a typical friday night I would expect BitAnd() to return a number and for you to compare that number to something. Have a look at GUICtrlCreateRadio for an example. I may expect something like for example If BitAND(GUICtrlGetState($Radio1), $GUI_HIDE) = $GUI_HIDE Then;... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Why are you checking a radio button to see if it's hidden? Shouldn't you be looking to see if it's checked with $GUI_CHECKED instead? That's the first thing I see wrong, without more code I'd be shooting in the dark to try and see what is happening. EDIT: Also, you should probably be using GUICtrlRead to check that it's checked or not. I forget if GetState will tell you that or not, as I haven't ever tried it that way. Edited March 27, 2011 by BrewManNH If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
