Checkboxes in a popup window. Wont work.

[JoshuaLoman]

Hello,

I have a GUI, if i click the button in this GUI, a new GUI/popup shows up with checkboxes in it. In that popup there is another button, that button must create a msgbox(for now) when the checkbox is checked.

For the last button, i have created a new function, but for some reason i cannot read the checkbox variable. Probably doing it wrong

Func ButtonServers()
$ServersPopup = GUICreate("Servers",200,200)
GUISetIcon("icon.ico")
TraySetIcon("icon.ico")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "ClosePopup")

$btnServersOk = GUICtrlCreateButton("ButtonServersOk",10,180,90,20)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btnServersOk, "ButtonServersOk")

$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("TS001",5,25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ServersPopup)
EndFunc
Func ButtonServersOk()
$Checkbox1checked = GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1)
If $Checkbox1checked = $GUI_UNCHECKED Then MsgBox(0,"","Checked") EndIf
EndFunc

It keeps getting an error at the $checkbox1:

$Checkbox1checked = GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1)

Anyone who can help?

Shouldn't the last function look like this:

Func ButtonServersOk()
$Checkbox1checked = GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1)
If $Checkbox1checked = $GUI_CHECKED Then MsgBox(0,"","Checked") EndIf
EndFunc

Yes, that was only for a test. But still doesnt work this way.

For some reason it looks like it cannot read the variable in another function? The error says the error is in $Checkbox1

If i use another variable that is not in a function, like something from the main GUI, it does work.

This should work

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
Global $Checkbox1
ButtonServers()
Func ButtonServers()
$ServersPopup = GUICreate("Servers", 200, 200)
GUISetIcon("icon.ico")
TraySetIcon("icon.ico")
$btnServersOk = GUICtrlCreateButton("ButtonServersOk", 10, 180, 90, 20)
$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("TS001", 5, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ServersPopup)
While 1
  $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
  Switch $nMsg
   Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    Exit
   Case $btnServersOk
    ButtonServersOk()
  EndSwitch
WEnd

EndFunc   ;==>ButtonServers
Func ButtonServersOk()
If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
  MsgBox(0, "", "Checked")
EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>ButtonServersOk
Func ClosePopup()
Exit
EndFunc   ;==>ClosePopup

Cant get it to work with that script.. Also cannot close the gui's anymore with the X..

The only thing i cannot get working is to read the checkbox variable from another function.. a checkbox in the main gui that is not in a function works fine..

Maybe because the gui with checkboxes is not active anymore? How can i keep it active?

Unless $Checkbox1 was declared as a global variable somewhere else in your script the problem is that, to the second function, that variable doesn't exist. It only exists inside the function ButtonServers, once that function ends or you jump to another function the rest of your script won't see it.

[JoshuaLoman]

Makes sense.. but how to fix it?

[BrewManNH]

I would assume that this line "Unless $Checkbox1 was declared as a global variable somewhere else in your script " would give you a starting point to figure it out. Look in the help file if you don't understand what that means, look for Global/Local and see where/when and how to use them.

I know, but cant get it to work. Just new to autoit.. Any help would be appreciated

Fixed it, had to place the Global command higher up in the script
