ControlID of combo created dinamically

marcoauto · November 2, 2011

Hi,

I need to create some combo in a gui, but the number of them are choose by the user.

I have do this (and this work):

For $c = 1 To $NumberofColumns
    for $r = 1 to $NumberofRows
      $EditControl[$c][$r] = GUICtrlCreateCombo($Control[$c][$r], $spazio_colonne+($larghezza_bottone+$spazio_colonne)*($c-1), $r *$spazio_righe + 10, $larghezza_bottone, $altezza_bottone, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
      GUICtrlSetData(-1, $elenco)
   Next
   GUISetState()

but when I read the value of the combo, this value is always 0

For $c = 1 To $NumberofColumns
     for $r = 1 to $NumberofRows
      ConsoleWrite(GUICtrlRead($EditControl[$c][$r]))
     Next
    Next

If I create the combos with variabiles without array (es. $EditControl_1, $EditControl_2, ....) all works, but I can't create them dinamicaly

Is there a solution?

Grazie

Try this:

For $c = 1 To $NumberofColumns
  for $r = 1 to $NumberofRows
      ConsoleWrite($EditControl[$c][$r] & @CRLF)
;      ConsoleWrite(GUICtrlRead($EditControl[$c][$r]) & @CRLF)
   Next
Next

Also check if content of your array is not changed somewhere in your program.

Small reproducing script will be good to get more help.

marcoauto,

Have you checked to make sure that you have sensible values in your $EditControl array?

I have no problems at all with this exampel script based on your snippets:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Global $aCombos[4][4]

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

For $i = 1 To 3
    For $j = 1 To 3
        $aCombos[$i][$j] = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10 + ($i * 100), 10 + ($j * 50), 80, 20)
        GUICtrlSetData(-1, "1|2|3|4|5", "1")
    Next
Next

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Read", 10, 400, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

_ArrayDisplay($aCombos, "Combo ControlIDs")

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            For $i = 1 To 3
                For $j = 1 To 3
                    ConsoleWrite(GUICtrlRead($aCombos[$i][$j]) & @CRLF)
                Next
                ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)
            Next
    EndSwitch

WEnd

I think I'm wrong somewhere in my scripts :-(

If I do

ConsoleWrite($EditControl[$c][$r] & @CRLF)

the result is

marcoauto,

No, those values look as though they are perfectly sensible ControlIDs for your combos. However, I suggest that you add a similar line to check what ControlIDs are returned when you create the combos on order to check that they are the same.

And please post the whole script - we can then see if you have anything else in there which might cause a problem. :oops:

Ok. This is my whole script. Is not finished.

The program read a file and parse it to find the values to use in the combos.

Also read a .ini file where are stored the default values and when the program will finished, I'll store the new values.

marcoauto,

I hope there is more than that to your script - try again!

To parse the file I use a symbol that the forum can't write

I have uploaded the whole script above

marcoauto,

Look at this section of your script:

GUIDelete($hChild)
$fChild = False
For $c = 1 To $NumberofColumns
    For $r = 1 To $NumberofRows
        ConsoleWrite($EditControl[$c][$r] & @CRLF)
        ;~  ConsoleWrite(GUICtrlRead($EditControl[$c][$r]) & @CRLF)
    Next
Next

Now ask yourself in which GUI the Edit controls you are trying to read were created. Then ask yourself where that GUI is now - and you will underatand why you find it difficult to read them.

Got it? :oops:

A NOTE TO ALL OUR READERS

Here is a classic case where the problem had nothing to do with the code snippets in the first post. So please do NOT just post small snippets of the code that you think is going wrong expecting us to determine the cause of your problems - post the complete script. If this is extremely long then YOU need to simplify it so that the problem remains and it does not take us too long to find.

Remember too that you wrote the code and know what it is supposed to do - we do not. We are happy to look for problems but please try to comment any complex sections of the code (in English) so we can see what is supposed to be happening. And please think about using Tidy to get the code into a readable format - how some of you manage to read your scripts at all given the chaotic layout of the code beats me!

So, if you post mere snippets of code, or a complex uncommented 3000 line script, you are unlikely to get a great deal of help. Please make it easy for us to help you. :oops:

M23

P.S. marcoauto - this is not directed at you more more than anyone else - you just acted as the catalyst! :rip:
