select and case confusion

[meows]

can't get the program to run from the Play icon,

Yes, these select and swith statments can be a little confusing.

For example, I judt found out that this works~

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=n
GUICreate("test", 225, 100)
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("register", 50, 10, 130, 75)
GUISetState()

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case -3
Exit

Case $Button

HotKeySet("{F2}", "test")

Func test()
Send("It works, what did you think would happen?!?! but as a side effect, autoit will self destruct in 10 seconds")
EndFunc
EndSwitch
WEnd

Anyway, it appears that you're interacting with a game of some kind, that isn't allowed on these forums and obviously you lack the courtesy to respect these forums by reading the rules for insight on what is acceptable and what is not.

But no bad, someone will eventually come in and lock the topic so as to make the event memorable to you that this is not allowed....

Also, try not to be one of those people who makes a secondary topic about the same thing but with a different pitch, most people on here are not as stupid as you might perceive them to be.

But if it's not a game you're automating and I am incorrect about my allegations, then damn me.

EDIT new code.

I can't get it to run by the user pressing a button.

I can't figure out how to get

$iMsgBoxAnswer = MsgBox(36,"Play Trouble in Heaven","Trouble in Heaven by Reardon Studios")
Select
 Case $iMsgBoxAnswer = 6 ;Yes

into a graphic the player presses to play the game.

;ShellExecute("C:Program Files (x86)The Game CreatorsFPS CreatorMyGames", @ScriptDir & "China4a.exe", "", "OPEN")
;ShellExecute("C:0GameLink000Gamelaunchcreate_004data1", @ScriptDir & "1.exe", "", "run")
;Run("C:0GameLink000Gamelaunchcreate_004data1", @ScriptDir & "1.exe", "", "run")
;Run(@WindowsDir & "notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
;ShellExecute ( "filename" [, "parameters" [, "workingdir" [, "verb" [, showflag]]]] )

Alright, my bad, I read about the game over at the place you're developing it.

Since you decided to use the shell execution method to run the program instead of the RunWait() command, I believe you need to enter the verb thing to tell it what type of execution to perform.

Try adding "open" to the "verb" parameter, which is the last empty parameter in the shellexecutewait() function.

Thank you ApudAngelorum for trying to help. Adding open just crashed the whole thing as I am using the

Actually I changed it all around, New Code and it runs but really want the start button towork and add a Quit Game button on the splash screen.

I will be adding ini files to track games won so they can restart at any game they have won instead of having to play them from game one.

Many Thanks.
