Well as the title says, this is my first script that i have written on my own.

I used the GUI Creator (Forgot the name) In the AutoIT editor for the GUI itself but i wrote the part to launch the programs and pop a MsgBox.

I know it's very basic but i only started learning scripting with AutoIt today xD.

C&C Welcome. Also any suggestion on how to tidy the script up would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.

Zerothian you seem eager to learn, so get your teeth stuck into this >>

This example is the same but it demonstrates the basics such as loops, arrays and environment variables. Good luck.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $aArray[5][2] = [[4, 2],['Firefox', '%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%Mozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe'],['Spotify', @AppDataDir & 'Spotifyspotify.exe'], _
            ['FirefoxEx', '%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%Mozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe'],['SpotifyEx', @AppDataDir & 'Spotifyspotify.exe']]
    Local $hGUI = GUICreate('Example Launcher', 365, 40, -1, -1), $iLeft = 5, $iMsg = 0

    For $i = 1 To $aArray[0][0]
        $aArray[$i][0] = GUICtrlCreateButton($aArray[$i][0], $iLeft, 5, 85, 25)
        $iLeft += 90
    Next
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

    While 1
        $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $iMsg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $aArray[1][0] To $aArray[$aArray[0][0]][0]
                For $i = 1 To $aArray[0][0]
                    If $iMsg = $aArray[$i][0] Then
                        If Run(_WinAPI_ExpandEnvironmentStrings($aArray[$i][1])) Then
                            MsgBox(4096, '', GUICtrlRead($aArray[$i][0]) & ' Launched.', 3, $hGUI)
                        EndIf
                        ExitLoop
                    EndIf
                Next
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Thanks for the example mate ;). It gave me an undeclared global variable error on the $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE. But i included...

#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#Include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>

And it launched fine now i am going to scour the script and find out what makes it tick :). Thanks again.
