How to make sure all the check box changes are credited everywhere.

[tommytx]

When I click a radio box on the main gui panel, not all areas are notified... Is there an easy way to do its..

For example like I am familiar with the html thingy like onchange() go out and notify all these folks.. but not sure if there is an easy way to make the program do some subroutines when I click a radio box to make a change.... any help would be appreciated.. I show one example in item 2 of some of the parts of the program that need to be notified of the radio button change.... Thanks

When I click any of the below radio buttons, the others auto uncheck... but I an not sure how to generate a onchange so that any click on a radio button fires off several subroutines to make sure the rest of the program is up to speed...for example the title line needs to change along with several other items.

Item 1:
$rob = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Rob", 175, 5, 40, 20)
$man = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Man", 225, 5, 40, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, 1)  ; checked
$pi = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Pi", 275, 5, 40, 20)
; GUICtrlSetState(-1, 1)  ; checked

Item 2:
_IEPropertySet ($oIE1, "title", $mytitle & " " & $cntdn)
  WinSetTitle($hGUI, "",$mytitle & " " & $cntdn)

I'm a little confused what you're asking.

Clicking on a radio button causes a message event like other controls that you can monitor with a GUIGetMsg() loop.

I'll sometimes lump a bunch of contiguous buttons together to be processed by a single subfunction, rather than create separate "Case" phrases and separate subfunctions for each button.

GUICreate("", 400,200)
$rob = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Rob", 175, 5, 40, 20)
$man = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Man", 225, 5, 40, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, 1)  ; checked
$pi = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Pi", 275, 5, 40, 20)
; GUICtrlSetState(-1, 1)  ; checked
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = -3 then ExitLoop
    Switch $msg
        Case $rob to $pi
            Process_Changes($msg - $rob + 1)
;      Case $whatever
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func Process_Changes($button)
    MsgBox("",0,"Doing what I do for button " & $button)
EndFunc

Let me give an example of what I mean... maybe that will help....I have many items throught the program that need update when a button changes... as you can see before so I am thinking about a command like on change.. meaning if the button selections are changed automatically do 1 or 2 subs that need to be updated...

Like for example when i hit the button man changing from manual to say Pi for Phillippines...

I need to update items such as below...

$decapman = "tommytx" when man is chosen... but

$decapman = "Phillippines" when the Pi radio button is checked...

Those do not change when I tick or untick the radio button so I need something that auto runs around and does the subs of choice when I tick or untick a button... with html they call it onchange for example = submit.... do something.... big...

Func guiread()
GUISetState()
$sPi =  GUICtrlRead($pi)
$sMan = GUICtrlRead($man)
$sDe = GUICtrlRead($de)
EndFunc
Func settitle()
guiread()
if $sMan = 1 then
$mytitle = "Manual Mode " & $botnr
$decapman = "Tommytx"
EndIf
WinSetTitle($hGUI, "", $mytitle)
if $sPi = 1 then
$mytitle = "PI Mode " & $botnr
$dcapman = "Phillippines"
EndIf

WinSetTitle($hGUI, "", $mytitle)
if $sDe = 1 then
$mytitle = "Death Mode " & $botnr
$decapman = "Death By Capture"
EndIf
WinSetTitle($hGUI, "", $mytitle)
EndFunc

need more code sir.

The whole GUI loop as well as the functions in question.

Bottom line it would be helpful to know if there is a way to trigger a sub run anytiime a radio box changes...

For example if I have radio1 , radio2 and radio3... I want to do a sub any time one of the radio boxes changes state...

On html its like onchange('dowork()') etc.... does autoit have anything monitoring a state change of a radio button.

GUIGetMsg in a message loop or GUICtrlOnEvent when using OnEvent mode will read the state of a control, and you can have your program do certain things depending upon whether the radio button is "checked" or "unchecked".

[Mechaflash]

since you don't want to provide the code...

as BrewManNH said... your GUI case items should be in a loop (normally While 1). While your GUI is active, you can use

If GUICtrlRead($checkbox) = $GUI_CHECKED (or) $GUI_UNCHECKED Then [...]

in your switch/case.

If you need to set a constant throughout the script even if the GUI is gone, create a bool variable like

If GUICtrlRead($checkbox) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
  $fCheckbox = True
Else
  $fCheckbox = False
EndIf

I think that is what I need is to set up the radio buttons on the while loop and put all the routines i need to run there so they all get done on any radio button change.. thanks for all the ideas..

maybe it's just a stupid advice and I didn't even read the code, but why not set a global variable which gets changed along with the change of the state of your control and make a separate function, let's call it UpdateControls(), which gets called on your needs which updates all you controls?

I didn't read any reply up here but i guess some of the expert coder already thought of this.

If the variable is like a checkbox you can do it with a boolean true/false

If it has more than 2 states you can do with a numeric variable like 1,2,3,4.... for every state

Just make some good loops to check the gui state and put them in a function and run it when you want the gui to update to make it update whole gui or controls
