Assign incremental Variables

[DemonWareXT]

First, hello everyone

I'm not new to autoit but I'm quite the newb at GUI building, so far I only mad GUI-less stuff

But alas the day has come, I finally ran into trouble with GUIs and here is ma problem:

So what I am trying to do is build a GUI with an undefined number of checkboxes, I have an array in the background that should be used for that purpose.

Now as I take it every checkbox needs to have a variable and I have no idea how I can make auto incremental variables.

This is what I have

$y = 10
$count = 0
For $i = 1 to UBound($People)-1
    $Person = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($People[$i], 24, $y)
    $y = $y + 25
    $count = $count + 1
Next

But like this the checkboxes are made but are not usable.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?

Or an alternative way to do this?

Thank you very muuch :3

DemonWareXT,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Just use another array to hold the ControlIDs returned when you create the CheckBoxes:

$y = 10
 
; Create an array to hold the checkbox ControlIds - make it the same size as the $People array
Global $aCheckIDs[UBound($People)]
 
For $i = 1 to UBound($People)-1
    $aCheckIDs[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($People[$i], 24, $y)
    $y = $y + 25
Next

Now you have an array of the ControlIDs and can use them as you need. I was not sure what $count was doing so I left it out for clarity.

Does that help?

Melba23, you're a saviour!

I did already try it with just $var[$i] which didn't work because I didn't know that I had to define it first

Thanks a lot!
