Pass variables to ConsoleWrite

[sliceofpie]

Hi,

I have a script that I'd like to write the username and password back to the console. How do I get it to pass on the values typed into the username and password field?

Here's my example code:

expandcollapse popup

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

Opt("GUIonEventMode", 1)

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$MainForm = GUICreate("Run app in admin mode", 303, 346, 391, 251)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")
$Runit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run As", 120, 112, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "__func_credentials")
$Cancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 16, 112, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_Exit")

Global $Usern, $Password, $CredPop

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd



Func __func_credentials ($Usern, $Password)
$CredPop = GUICreate("Scheduling Backup", 226, 150, 391, 447, BitOR($WS_CAPTION,$WS_POPUP,$WS_BORDER,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$Username = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 80, 46, 121, 21)
$Password = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 80, 72, 121, 21, BitOR($ES_PASSWORD, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT ))

$Usern = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 16, 48, 55, 17)
$Passw = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Password:", 16, 75, 53, 17)

$entcred = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please enter your credentials to", 24, 8, 152, 17)

$runbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("RunNow", 120, 112, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_Cred")

$Cancelbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 16, 112, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_Close")

$RunNow = GUICtrlCreateLabel("run the application", 24, 24, 104, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) 
EndFunc

Func _Cred($Usern, $Password)
ConsoleWrite($Password & ' ' & $Usern)
GUIDelete($CredPop)
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func _Close()
GUIDelete($CredPop)
EndFunc

If someone could point me into the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it

Your consolewrite in the _Cred function should pass the variables to the Console window in Scite. The only problem is that your functions will error out every time you run your script because you are expecting 2 variables to be passed to the function, but they're both called by button presses using OnEvent mode. I'm guessing the problem you're seeing isn't because of the contents of the variables, rather in how you wrote your functions.

I found the following problems:

1. You needed to declare $Username globally

2. You were not reading the values of $Username or $Password at all (see the changes I made to the _Cred function).

3. You referenced $Usern, which is just a label, not the value you were wanting to read.

This should do it:

expandcollapse popup

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

Opt("GUIonEventMode", 1)

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$MainForm = GUICreate("Run app in admin mode", 303, 346, 391, 251)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")
$Runit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run As", 120, 112, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "__func_credentials")
$Cancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 16, 112, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_Exit")

Global $Usern, $Password, $CredPop, $Username ; <--------------------Change #1

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd



Func __func_credentials ($Usern, $Password)
$CredPop = GUICreate("Scheduling Backup", 226, 150, 391, 447, BitOR($WS_CAPTION,$WS_POPUP,$WS_BORDER,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$Username = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 80, 46, 121, 21)
$Password = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 80, 72, 121, 21, BitOR($ES_PASSWORD, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT ))

$Usern = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 16, 48, 55, 17)
$Passw = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Password:", 16, 75, 53, 17)

$entcred = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please enter your credentials to", 24, 8, 152, 17)

$runbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("RunNow", 120, 112, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_Cred")

$Cancelbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 16, 112, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_Close")

$RunNow = GUICtrlCreateLabel("run the application", 24, 24, 104, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) 
EndFunc

Func _Cred($Username, $Password) ; <------------------------------- This begins the changes for #2
    $Username = GUICtrlRead($Username) ; <------------------------- Should be $Username, not $Usern
    $Password = GUICtrlRead($Password)
    ;MsgBox(0, "", $Username & " " & $Password) ; I added this for debugging
ConsoleWrite($Password & ' ' & $Username)
GUIDelete($CredPop)
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func _Close()
GUIDelete($CredPop)
EndFunc

Thanks sleepdvdr for the explanation and the code! It works great!. That makes sense on declaring the variables. I did put those in initially but got confused and took it back out.
