GUI Save/Print Button

[antmar904]

hi all,

i am very new to autoit.

i created a small gui that show some system info.

how would i create a button that will save system info to a txt file and a button that will print the system info:

here is what i have so far:

script

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

info()

Func info()

Local $hGUI, $hLABEL, $Button_1, $Button_2, $var, $MyDocsFolder

$hGUI = GUICreate("System Information")

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("* Operating System",10,20)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("System Information",150,0)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Type:",10,40)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel(@OSType,100,40)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Version:",10,60)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel(@OSVersion,100,60)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Architecture:",10,80)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel(@OSArch,100,80)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Service Pack:",10,100)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel(@OSServicePack,100,100)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("* Computer System",10,130)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Computer Name:",10,150)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel(@ComputerName,100,150)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("IP Address:",10,170)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel(@IPAddress1,100,170)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("* Logged On User",10,200)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("User Name:",10,220)

$hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel(@UserName,100,220)

$Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Print",300,370)

$Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save",340,370)

GUISetState()

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $msg = $Button_1

Case $msg = $Button_2

FileSaveDialog("Save",$MyDocsFolder, "Text file (*.txt)", 2)

EndSelect

WEnd

EndFunc

Look in the help file to see examples for FileWriteLine and _FilePrint. They'll show you how to do what you want for starters.

Here's one way of doing it, it's not the cleanest display, but that can be tweaked how you'd want it to look. You had all the labels reusing the same variable name for the control ID, so I turned it all into one label using one control ID instead. To print the text file, or the label's contents, you can search the forum how to do that.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
info()
Func info()
     Local $hGUI, $hLABEL, $Button_1, $Button_2, $var, $MyDocsFolder
     $hGUI = GUICreate("System Information")
     $hLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("* Operating System" & @CRLF & _
               "System Information" & @CRLF & "Type:" & @OSType & @CRLF & _
               "Version:" & @OSVersion & @CRLF & "Architecture:" & @OSArch & @CRLF & _
               "Service Pack:" & @OSServicePack & @CRLF & @CRLF & "* Computer System" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
               "Computer Name:" & @ComputerName & @CRLF & "IP Address:" & @IPAddress1 & @CRLF & _
               "* Logged On User" & @CRLF & "User Name:" & @UserName, 10, 10, 200, 300)
     $Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Print", 300, 370)
     $Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 340, 370)
     GUISetState()
     While 1
          $msg = GUIGetMsg()
          Select
               Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    ExitLoop
               Case $msg = $Button_1
               Case $msg = $Button_2
                    Local $File = FileSaveDialog("Save", $MyDocsFolder, "Text file (*.txt)", 2)
                    Local $hFile = FileOpen($File, 2)
                    FileWrite($hFile, GUICtrlRead($hLABEL))
                    FileClose($hFile)
          EndSelect
     WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>info

(...)To print the text file, or the label's contents, you can search the forum how to do that.

Or use this snippet:

Func _PrintFileOrText($vValue, $fWaiting = True)
    Local $sFileName, $iRandom = 0

    If FileExists($vValue) Then
        $sFileName = $vValue
    Else
        $iRandom = 1
        $sFileName = @TempDir & "" & Random(111111, 999999, 1) & ".tmp" ; Generates a random file name...
        ; Writes the contents to be printed...
        $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sFileName, 2)
        FileWrite($hFileOpen, $vValue)
        FileClose($hFileOpen)
    EndIf

    Switch $fWaiting
        Case True
            RunWait(@SystemDir & "notepad.exe /p " & FileGetShortName($sFileName), "", @SW_HIDE)
        Case False
            Run(@SystemDir & "notepad.exe /p " & FileGetShortName($sFileName), "", @SW_HIDE)
    EndSwitch
    If $iRandom Then FileDelete($sFileName)

    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_Print
