[Beginner] Help??

Help please?

I'm very new to AutoIt and Koda and had a question:

How do you make it so that when you click a button a program is run?

I've had trouble with this, as I tried this:

If $button = "MouseClick" Then
Run("notepad.exe")
Exit
EndIf

To no avail. Whats the command you place where I had put "MouseClick"? It would be for when the button is clicked a program is run.

If anyone could help me that would be great

Thanks,

A bit more of your code would help. If you are using EventMode then you do it with an event handler and if you are using a message loop you do it differently.

Read this, GUICtrlCreateButton, and the rest of the Help file while you're at it..

Good luck!

;If $button = "MouseClick" Then
;Run("notepad.exe")
;Exit
;EndIf

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 173, 56, 192, 124)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 16, 8, 137, 41)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    
    Case $button1 ;=> $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 16, 8, 137, 41)
    ;Please add the "Case" command example:
;   Case $button1
; = write something...
    Run("notepad.exe");=> this will run the notepad.exe
    
    
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Or something like this

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 217, 110, 192, 114)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 8, 8, 193, 89, $WS_GROUP)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            Run ( "notepad.exe")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

a little bit more simpler

GuiCreate("Open Notepad",275,77,669,357) ;make a Graphic User Interface (gui)
$button1=GuiCtrlCreateButton("Open",91,6,50,20) ;make a button
$label1=GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Click here to open",70,30,100,15) ;make a lable
GuiSetState()

While 1
$msg=GuiGetMsg() ;get input from gui
If $msg=-3 Then Exit
If $msg=$button1 Then Run("notepad.exe")
WEnd
