Checkbox help


Recommended Posts

I've been stuck on this for hours now and I'm completely stumped... I have 2 checkboxes that depending on which one is checked, a part of the script will be run, I have it working perfectly fine for 1 of the boxes but the 2nd one just sits there when I check it, no errors.

While 1 
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
   Case $checkbox1
   if GUIctrlread($Checkbox1) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
      EndIf

  While 1   
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
   Case $checkbox2
   if GUIctrlread($Checkbox2) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
      EndIf

This is an example of the code that I have on top of part 1, and part 2. What exactly am I missing?

use this to check if a checkbox is checked...it's possible it has many states

If BitAND ( GUICtrlRead ( $Checkbox2 ), $GUI_CHECKED ) Then
; your code
EndIf

I've tried that as well and still nothing...
While 1 
$bMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $bMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
   Case $checkbox2
  If BitAND (GUICtrlRead($checkbox2), $GUI_CHECKED) then
   mouseclick("left",760,910)
   EndIf

add a messagebox inside the If BitAnd... statement...so you can verify it works. It's possible your clicks are not doing what you want it to.

If BitAND ( GUICtrlRead ( $Checkbox2 ), $GUI_CHECKED ) Then
msgbox ( 1,1, "inside loop for $Checkbox2, because it is checked")
EndIf

doesn't get much simpler than this...use this to debug yours:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$Main_GUI = GUICreate("Main", 100, 50)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Main_GUI)
$checkbox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox('Checkbox', 15, 15)
While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
     Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         Exit
Case $checkbox
$sCheckedState = BitAND ( GUICtrlRead ( $checkbox ), $GUI_CHECKED )
msgbox ( 1,1, "inside loop for $checkbox, IsChecked=[" & $sCheckedState & "].")
EndSwitch
WEnd

Try this.

While 1
     $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
     Switch $nMsg
          Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
               Exit
          Case $checkbox1
               If GUICtrlRead($checkbox1) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
                    MsgBox(64, "", "Checkbox 1 checked")
               Else
                    MsgBox(48, "", "Checkbox 1 unchecked")
               EndIf
          Case $checkbox2
               If GUICtrlRead($checkbox2) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
                    MsgBox(64, "", "Checkbox 2 checked")
               Else
                    MsgBox(48, "", "Checkbox 2 unchecked)
               EndIf
     EndSwitch
WEnd

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I copied the script and it only seems to work once, if I put it in my 2nd checkbox script, it does nothing, if I remove the first checkbox, then it works, or if I flip this script with the 1st one, it works and if I have the script copied exactly other than the $checkbox1/2 it only works for 1.. I'm clearly missing something here aren't I?

*edit* BrewMan ninja'd in here before I saw lol Your script is working and acknowledging when either box is click, going to incorporate it into my script and see if i can get it work, thanks :)

with 2 checkboxes:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiConstants.au3>
$Main_GUI = GUICreate("Main", 100, 75)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$checkbox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox('Checkbox', 15, 15)
$checkbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox('Checkbox2', 15, 40)
While 1
 Switch GUIGetMsg()
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
  Case $checkbox
   $sCheckedState = BitAND(GUICtrlRead($checkbox), $GUI_CHECKED)
   MsgBox(1, 1, "inside loop for $checkbox, IsChecked=[" & $sCheckedState & "].")

Now I can't get the boxes to actually start my scripts even though I had at least 1 of them working lastnight :/ So I need to know what's a reliable command to use in where I put the comments because I've tried multiple things and I think I'm just doing something wrong.

There's no way for the script to exit the first While loop, so the second one is never going to get started. You need to make the second While loop a couple of functions, or use ExitLoop to get out of the While loop.
