When the Checkbox has been selected you have to read the status of the CheckBox.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 179, 49, 192, 124)
$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("open folder", 16, 16, 73, 17)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("exit", 88, 16, 75, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = -3 Or $msg = $Button1 Then Exit
    If $msg = $Checkbox1 Then
        If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1) = $GUI_CHECKED Then MsgBox(0, "", "Checkbox selected")
    EndIf
WEnd

so i did that but it goes like this: I check and it does the thing is ment to do over and over again but when i uncheck it does not stop it does the same thing like when its checked.

what i need to do is. check -> loop exmpl.(open a folder when it fund the pixel over and over again)

uncheck -> sleep (do nothing just w8 until i check it again)

#include 
#include 
#include 
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 179, 49, 192, 124)
$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("open folder", 16, 16, 73, 17)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("exit", 88, 16, 75, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1

HotKeySet("p","stop")

$msg = GUIGetMsg()
If $msg = -3 Or $msg = $Button1 Then Exit
If $msg = $Checkbox1 Then
If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1) = $GUI_CHECKED Then open()
EndIf

WEnd

func stop()
Exit
EndFunc

func open()
while 1

$open = PixelSearch(187,107,600,600,0xDE843D)

if isarray($open) Then
MouseClick("left",$open[0],$open[1],2,2)
EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc

Because you never exit the Wile/WEnd loop.

Should look like:

func open()
    while 1
         $open = PixelSearch(187,107,600,600,0xDE843D)
        if isarray($open) Then
            MouseClick("left",$open[0],$open[1],2,2)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndFunc

i did that and its not what i whant, i only whant to stop the loop when i uncheck the checkbox.

sorry if im explaining worn or its my bad english.

example: i check the box and the mouse goes to all folders and opens them, over and over again. i uncheck and it stops does nothing

what i deed whas: i check the box and the mouse goes to all folders and opens them, over and over again.i uncheck it and it does the same thing it does not stop.

i cant see were is the error if its the windows while or the func. if i exit loop it only does 1 time the func and stops with the box checked

Then you have to use the GuiOnEvent mode. Because you have to check for user input (uncheck the box) in the While/WEnd loop in function open().

can u make an example plz?

[water]

Can you please explain why you have to use PixelSearch and "FolderOpen" in one script? What do you try to achieve? Is it a real problem you want to solve or do you just try to learn AutoIt?

[ryukkO]

im trying to learn autoIt i did that example only to make it simple. im trying to learn 1 thing at time and making a loop in a check box is somthing i simply cant figure it out =/

[water]

To learn AutoIt I would suggest to use a real life problem. If you create one yourself you often make it overly complex.

Have a look at the wiki where you can find a lot of tutorials with a lot of example code. Take one of this examples and adopt them to your environment.

Glad to be of service
