Adding Code To Button

[Jayson]

Not sure if this is what you wanted but this is my version..

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <array.au3>

HotKeySet( "{F1}", "StartMainScript")
HotKeySet( "{F2}", "StopMainScript")
HotKeySet( "{F3}", "Terminate")

Global $Data = "Info.ini"

$GUI = GUICreate("Conversion Calculator", 235, 190)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Set Time", 99, 8, 58, 17)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("East Time :", 25, 35, 55, 21)
$East = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 95, 32, 105, 21)
$Updown = GUICtrlCreateUpdown(-1)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Central Time :", 12, 64, 65, 17)
$Central = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 95, 64, 105, 21)
$Updown1 = GUICtrlCreateUpdown(-1)
$Save = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 5, 160, 73, 25)
$Help = GUICtrlCreateButton("Help", 81, 160, 73, 25)
$Load = GUICtrlCreateButton("Load", 157, 160, 73, 25)
$Convert = GUICtrlCreateButton("Convert", 81, 132, 73, 25)
GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $Help
            ShellExecute("http://www.google.com")
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $save
            IniWrite($Data, "Info", "East Time", GUICtrlRead($East))
            IniWrite($Data, "Info", "Central Time", GUICtrlRead($Central))
        Case $Load
            $IniRead = IniReadSection($Data, "Info")
            If $IniRead <> 1 Then
                For $i = 1 To $IniRead[0][0]
                    _arraydisplay($iniread) ; you can disable this
                    GUICtrlSetData($East, $IniRead[1][1])
                    GUICtrlSetData($Central, $IniRead[2][1])
                Next
            EndIf
        Case $Convert
            StartMainScript()
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Func StartMainScript()
    ConsoleWrite("Your script is running." & @LF)
EndFunc

Func StopMainScript()
    ConsoleWrite("Your script has stopped." & @LF)
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc

And for the .ini :

[Info]
East Time=7:50
Central Time=9:25

THHANKKK YOUUU!!!

[Melba23]

Ritzky,

Use FileOpenDialog and Windows produces a dialog like that for you!

Then you would need to use IniRead on the returned file to get your values and GUICtrlSetData to put them into your inputs.

Try it yourself - it is really easy.

Ritzky,

Do you ever look at the Help file or do you just expect us to provide all the code for you?

As I posted above:

; use IniRead on the returned file to get your values 
$iValue = IniRead ($var, "Times", "EST", "")

; and GUICtrlSetData to put them into your inputs
GUICtrlSetData ( $input1, $iValue)

If you wanted a really short line you could do this:

GUICtrlSetData ( $input1, IniRead ($var, "Times", "EST", ""))

but then you can do no errorchecking.

Seriously, reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page). There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading.

If you get a better handle on how AutoIt syntax works, you (and we ) will find your coding a much less frustrating experience.

Take a look at GUICtrlRead() in the help file. You have had enough code provided for you and you don't seem willing to help yourself.

[Ritzky]

oo nvm thanks i got it working lol. hey how do i add another button ontop of the gui? like there is a X close button and a minimize button, so i wanna add another one

o and how to let user change the name of the save file? it always saves as times.ini, but i want ppl to be able to change the save name

thanks to everyone!

Ritzky,

This thread explains how to add a button to the title bar of a GUI.

Use InputBox to get the user to give you a name for the ini or perhaps FileSaveDialog to let them choose an existing name or enter a new one.

M23

[Melba23]

Ritzky,

So reassign the variable!

M23

[Ritzky]

How? Even if I rename times.ini to times2.ini, it will still save as times2.ini

[BrewManNH]

How? Even if I rename times.ini to times2.ini, it will still save as times2.ini

$Data = InputBox("title", "prompt")

[Melba23]

Ritzky,

Do you actually take the time to read the responses you get and look at the functions they suggest, or do you just wait for code to be written for you?

As I posted above:

Use InputBox to get the user to give you a name for the ini or perhaps FileSaveDialog to let them choose an existing name or enter a new one

If you use InputBox you need to reassign the variable in code and then save the file - with FileSaveDialog the user does the work themselves to save the file but you still need to reassign post-save.

also whenver i start the main script, i cant exit the applicatino by pressing the X button. i click the X and it does nothing. but only after i start main script, i even tried stopping main script, but it still doesn't exit. i have to press the ESC button for it to exit, becuz i set the hotkey to terminate when i press ESC. how do i fix this

[Melba23]

Ritzky,

OK, I give in - you have worn me down:

; Initial assignment
Global $Data = "times.ini"

; Get new name
$sNewName = InputBox("New name", "Choose a new name for the ini file")

; A bit of errorchecking
If StringRight($sNewName, 4) = ".ini" Then
    $Data = @ScriptDir & "\" & $sNewName
Else
    $Data = @ScriptDir & "\" & $sNewName & ".ini"
EndIf

; And here is the name
MsgBox(0, "Renamed", $Data)

; Another way to do it
$sAnotherName = FileSaveDialog("Choose another name", @ScriptDir, "ini files (*.ini)", 2)

; Some errorchecking again
If StringRight($sAnotherName, 4) = ".ini" Then
    $Data = $sAnotherName
Else
    $Data = $sAnotherName & ".ini"
EndIf

; And another name
MsgBox(0, "Renamed again", $Data)

If you want help with the [X] problem, post the code you have written (or had written for you) so far.

M23

[Jayson]

Seriously.. don't you think posting your full code will be better than replying 50 times ? How we should know where the fucking problem is ? At least show us where u ran into problem with your code..

For closing the GUI by X i've already posted the code in the first page and you even said it was working. Read help files sometimes it has great example.

no the x button does work. but only when i haven't yet started the main script. after i start main script, and try to press x button, it doesn't work.

[Jayson]

As i said one post before yours POST YOUR CODE.

also whenver i start the main script, i cant exit the applicatino by pressing the X button. i click the X and it does nothing. but only after i start main script, i even tried stopping main script, but it still doesn't exit. i have to press the ESC button for it to exit, becuz i set the hotkey to terminate when i press ESC. how do i fix this

Ritzky.. put your code in a format which we can read easily .. use the forum buttons to do that "[code!]code between[/code!]" without the "!"

This is getting disapointing for many of us... if you want help.. first HELP US YOU!! to understand...

use the abyable format to read the code well... i ´m not already in mood for this.... you are not helping us to understand.

EDIT: Until you don´t help us to understand.. i´m not help you... -.-

mayabe someone with better english than me can explaint to you better

i dont get it. only thing wrong is save button dont work, and thats it. it shouldn't be hard to fix for you programmers

i press the save button, then it opens the fileopendialog, then i enter esttimes.ini, but yet it saves as times.ini.

i just want it to save as esttimes.ini!

i no understand what u ask of me!

the rest of code work good!

[Jayson]

It will always save as Times.ini because you writed the $Data to use this ini file so use the example that Melba said earlier.

As the main part you dont need two While 1 Wend so remove the second one. GUISetIcon ?? The $message in FileOpenDialog is wrong as it clearly stated in the help file Title text of the Dialog GUI so put there your variable used for the GUI creation. Take of the GUICreate("") from the FileOpenDialog also.

You have added WEnd for nothing in your StartMainScript() as for StopMainScript() or you just don't have posted your full code like i said ?

Where's your GUI info ? Have you ever tried to run your code ?

i dont get it. only thing wrong is save button dont work, and thats it. it shouldn't be hard to fix for you programmers

So you saying us to write everything for you ?

Sorry but I won't help you anymore since ur not helping urself at all. I've posted many example and you keep adding your errors back in it.

Ritzky what you want to do is soooo easy if you know a little more... but you don´t help us... you don´t put the code in a way to understand it... you want to us to be magican scripters and do a jub totaly blindness and you expect from us to answer you...

repeat what you want to do is sooo easuly but i refuse to help a person who doens´t know how to put a code in a forum.. and don´t take the bother to learn.. asn expect magical results from the more experinced programers... i learned autoit in three months and still learning more and more, but my acttitude is the same, respet the other people time.... you don´t
