I am trying to build a GUI that will show a checkbox if a particular file exists. If the file does not exist, the checkbox is hidden. The code below sort of works. This is stripped down from a much larger project.

When I run this if a file named test.txt is not on the desktop, no checkbox. If the file is there, then the checkbox appears. However, the checkbox disappears for good as soon as I move my mouse over it or on the same horizontal plane as the checkbox. Hoping someone can help.

;-----------------------------INCLUDES----------------------------------------------------------

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

;------------------------------VARIABLES--------------------------------------------------------

Dim $extrabutton, $adsi, $main, $add_adsi, $select, $msg

;------------------------------MAIN--------------------------------------------------------

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

$main = GUICreate("Purpose", 380, 270)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Identify the reason", 55, 10)
$select = GUICtrlCreateButton("Select", 145, 230, 90)
$adsi = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Enable ADSI",15,190,375)
$extrabutton = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Enable sweetness",100,190,375)
GUICtrlSetState($extrabutton,$gui_hide)
    If FileExists(@DesktopDir & '\test.txt') Then
    GUICtrlSetState($extrabutton,$gui_show)
EndIf

GUISetState()

While 1

    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $select And GUICtrlRead($adsi) = $GUI_CHECKED
            $add_adsi = True
            ContinueCase
    EndSelect
WEnd

Something like this?

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $iButton, $iExtra = -1 ; Make sure you set the variable to negative else GUIGetMsg() will fail since it's always returning 0 if no activity.


GUICreate("Purpose", 380, 270)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Identify the reason.", 5, 10)
$iButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Select", 145, 230, 90)
GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Enable ADSI", 15, 190)

If FileExists(@DesktopDir & '\Test.txt') Then
    $iExtra = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Enable Sweetness", 100, 190)
EndIf
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
            ExitLoop

        Case $iButton
            If _IsChecked($iExtra) Then
                MsgBox(64, "Checked!", "Example.")
            EndIf

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _IsChecked($iControlID)
    Return GUICtrlRead($iControlID) = $GUI_CHECKED
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked

And I would recommend using Local & Global deceleration in the future, so for Global you would use if the Variable is required elsewhere & Local if only required in the Function.

Edit: Removed Width!

Whoops, I was being an idiot :) >> I removed the Width.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $iButton, $iExtra = -1 ; Make sure you set the variable to negative else GUIGetMsg() will fail since it's always returning 0 if no activity.


GUICreate("Purpose", 380, 270)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Identify the reason.", 5, 10)
$iButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Select", 145, 230, 90)
GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Enable ADSI", 15, 190)

If FileExists(@DesktopDir & '\Test.txt') Then
    $iExtra = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Enable Sweetness", 100, 190)
EndIf
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
            ExitLoop

        Case $iButton
            If _IsChecked($iExtra) Then
                MsgBox(64, "Checked!", "Example.")
            EndIf

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _IsChecked($iControlID)
    Return GUICtrlRead($iControlID) = $GUI_CHECKED
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked

OR reduce the Width to something like 100.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $iButton, $iExtra = -1 ; Make sure you set the variable to negative else GUIGetMsg() will fail since it's always returning 0 if no activity.


GUICreate("Purpose", 380, 270)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Identify the reason.", 5, 10)
$iButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Select", 145, 230, 90)
GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Enable ADSI", 15, 190, 100)

If FileExists(@DesktopDir & '\Test.txt') = 0 Then
    $iExtra = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Enable Sweetness", 100, 190, 100)
EndIf
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
            ExitLoop

        Case $iButton
            If _IsChecked($iExtra) Then
                MsgBox(64, "Checked!", "Example.")
            EndIf

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _IsChecked($iControlID)
    Return GUICtrlRead($iControlID) = $GUI_CHECKED
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked
