Couple of questions

[electrogen]

Hi, Im just wondering if it is possible to have functions within functions. I have made a func that contains a child gui, and the child also has buttons and inputs on it which are to be called via functions.

I have tried a few ways to call them funcs but the syntax check keeps coming up with errors.

Also is there a way to unhighlight check boxes after selection.

I made a dialog with 36 check boxes and a radio button to select them all if i needed.

I used the Case expression to call a function to select them all but cant figure how to deselect them if i pressed the select all control A second time.

Also how would i loop this.

Functions within functions is not possible.

Func xy
  Func abc
  EndFunc
EndFunc

doesn't work. You have to use

Func xy
EndFunc
Func abc
EndFunc

electrogen,

You can certainly call functions from within other functions. What you cannot do is to define functions within other functions - each Func/EndFunc section must be distinct. Perhaps posting your script might help us to offer further help.

As to your second question, Radio controls can only be selected, you cannot "deselect" them. I suggest using a checkbox like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

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

$cStart = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
For $i = 1 To 10
    GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Check " & $i, 10, 20 * $i, 200, 20)
Next
$cEnd = GUICtrlCreateDummy()

$cRadio = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Select All", 250, 20, 200, 20)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cRadio
            Switch GUICtrlRead($cRadio)
                Case 1
                    $iState = $GUI_CHECKED
                Case Else
                    $iState = $GUI_UNCHECKED
            EndSwitch
            For $i = $cStart To $cEnd
                GUICtrlSetState($i, $iState)
            Next

    EndSwitch

WEnd

All clear?

electrogen,One thing that jumps out immediately is this section in Func InjectOptionYes.  You cannot use both modes in the same script at the same time:GUICtrlSetOnEvent($WimImageButton, WIMButton())

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg

Was it the WIMButton function that was not working? You need to add the $WimImageButton control to the GUIGetMsg Switch structure and call teh function when it fires.

No actually when i check the syntax it is fine no errors. But when i test the GUI as soon as that func is called the gui starts behaving strange.

[electrogen]

electrogen,

One thing that jumps out immediately is this section in Func InjectOptionYes. You cannot use both modes in the same script at the same time:

I thought you couldnt but i also thought that the code is read from top to bottom so cant go back to the top again

[electrogen]

There is also a problem as there is essentially 2 gui's.

There is a switch for the main gui as below.

Switch $Msg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

but also there is a child gui that when i close buth gui closes

[Melba23]

electrogen,

Syntax might be fine but I repeat, you cannot use both OnEvent and MessageLoop modes simultaneously.

However, your GUI is acting funny because you never leave the child GUI loop. Make the final loop something like this:

While 1
        $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $Msg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                GUICtrlSetState($InjectOptionNo, $GUI_CHECKED)
                ExitLoop
            Case $WimImageButton
                WIMButton()
                ExitLoop
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
    
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ParentGUI)
    GUIDelete($hChild)

EndFunc   ;==>InjectOptionYes

Now I can open and close the child without problem.

Cheers ill give it a try

[electrogen]

Iv'e lost my trail of thought about it so i will just do it a different way. With a hidden tab that is activated instead.

COuld i also ask what the dummy gui is for?

[Melba23]

electrogen,

I assume you mean the dummy controls I created with GUICtrlCreateDummy rather than a "dummy GUI".

I used them to delimit the controlIDs of the Checkboxes so that I could loop through them to check/uncheck all. To be absolutely correct I should have saved the ControlIDs in an array and then looped through the array - but if you create controls in immediate succession and have not deleted any controls create dearlier, you can cheat a bit and use the trick as shown in that script.

[electrogen]

Can that work aswell instead of me deleting the modules tab.

[Melba23]

electrogen,

Sorry, but I have no idea what you mean by that.

I use GUICtrlDelete to delete the tabs so they cant be used if the other tab is selected

Func Languages()
GUICtrlDelete ($ModulesTab)
GUICtrlSetState($LPRadio, $GUI_CHECKED)
EndFunc

Func Inject ()
GUICtrlDelete ($ModulesTab)
    GUICtrlDelete ($LanguagesTab)
GUICtrlSetState($LPRadio, $GUI_CHECKED)
EndFunc
