Calling functions by variable

[jmg39926]

here is my question:

I created 50 labels on a form -- L1..L50 in a 10 x 5 matrix

is there a way so I do not have to code

GUICtrlSetState ($L1, $GUI_Hide + $GUI_Disable)

GUICtrlSetState ($Ll2, $GUI_Hide + $GUI_Disable)

.

.

.GUICtrlSetState ($L50, $GUI_Hide + $GUI_Disable)

I tried - and it does not work

for $i = 1 to 50

$Lnumber = "$L" & $i ; $Lnumber then is $L1,$L2, $L3.....

GUICtrlSetState ($Lnumber, $GUI_Hide + $GUI_Disable)

next

To explain what I am doing is that I have a 10 x 5 excel sheet and posting it to the screen and only specific fields are to be visible to specific users. The above is to whack all of the entries and then I will enable the cells that the user is allowed to view / change.

There will be some other functions (if, case etc) is there anything special requirement to use the $Lnumber method.

Direct replies can be sent to <snip>

Thanks.

The easiest way is to put the ControlID of the labels not into individual variables but into an array.

Global $aIDs[50]
For $i = 0 to UBound($aIDs) - 1
    $aIDs[$i] = GuiCtrlCreateLabel(...)
Next
;...
For $i = 0 to UBound($aIDs) - 1
    GUICtrlSetState ($aIDs[$i], $GUI_Hide + $GUI_Disable)
Next
